November 13, 2010

Joe Viglione is musical, articulate and a passionate music fan. His interviews and reviews are compelling because he reaches into the heart, soul and artistry of creating music.”

Susan Michelson,

Desert Dreams LLC


"Dick was very happy with the interview. He has done hundreds of interviews in his life. Immediately after the interview, he called me... Rarely does he describe an interview as "great." He said this about your interview, Joe."


Susan Michelson, Dick Wagner's business partner on the 11-11-10 interview on

The Joe Viglione Radio Show Friday, November 12, 2010 8:52 PM


Dick Wagner is the author of the forthcoming autobiography

NOT ONLY WOMEN BLEED

and has played guitar with Alice Cooper, Lou Reed, Aerosmith, Kiss, Peter Gabriel, Air Supply and many, many others



Peter Voltmeter Holt "Joe: you hit the nail right on the head. I couldn't agree with your analysis any more: it IS the Lou Reed song that Lou Reed never wrote. And the recording IS perfect: it fits the mood precisely." Peter Voltmeter Holt 11/13/10 on Joe Viglione's review of Armand Schaubroeck's Rat-F blank blank er album.




Joe,

Thank you so much. I so enjoyed speaking with you. You certainly have the gift and made it easy for me to convey my messages

STATE REPRESENATIVE PAUL DONATO (D-MASSACHUETTS)
You're a decent person. You should be the kind of person that people have a lot of respect for. I have respect for you." State Representative Paul Donato



LARRY HOPPEN of the band ORLEANS ("Still The One", "Dance With Me")
Joe, just wanted to say - besides than you - that you
are indeed one - if not the BEST - person when it
comes to knowing thee real scoop on Orleans over the
years. Our history, how we got from A to B, who was
involved where and when etc.

Beyond that, I happen to think that your
critiques are dead on target, especially with the
benefit of 20/20 hindsight. The fact that you called
these opinions at the concurrent time makes them all
the more credible.

TTy soon, larry Hoppen

Letter From Andy Pratt

This is a portion of a letter from Andy Pratt to a family member about the man who handled his business affairs in 2004 for Andy's own management company.

Thank you, Andy, for your kind words.


FROM ANDY PRATT to his brother:

This is the first time I have made money on my music, other
than minor things, maybe in my whole life, certainly since 1978. Joe knows almost everybody in the music industry, is very smart, and honest. I am very impressed and pleased with his work.

Rock Star Andy Pratt has a song featured in the movie Velvet Goldmine.
He is known internationally.


QUOTES ON JOE VIGLIONE’S ROCK CRITICISM

Dear Mr.Viglione,

Thank you for being a reviever/critic that I can count on. I used to be very adventurous in buying cds of acts that I haven't heard of and most the time it turns out to be rubbish; what a waste of money. These days I'm trying to economise by purchasing habit so I always check on your comments first before buying. 85 percent of the time your reviews makes sense to me and even when it doesn't, ...(in fact no one) can deny the brilliance of your writing.



Jeffrey (Rois)

Hi, Joe ! The guy's right. Your reviews are excellent and reliable, so you ocan include me among your fans (as if you don't already know that!)

Hiya Joe -

…I've seen your name all over the AMG pages, I think

you're one of their most trusty reviewers! I definitely think having a copy of your review of the Jimi boot up on the auction site helped sell the record.

Someone's gotta keep the flame of all this old rock and roll alive!

…thanks for all the great reviews. You guys at
AMG are doing us all a great service, keep up the great work!

Whenever I hear about a band or artist I've never heard before and want to know which album to check out first, allmusic.com is always my first stop.

Take care Joe,

Trevor Sutcliffe

By the way, I've been an active musician in the Boston area for many years, and occasionally get a chance to see you on Burlington Cable Access, which I enjoy very much. Charlie Farren, The Stompers, John Butcher, The Atlantics, The Hoods, and New England were great bands that I've always idolized. Please feel free to include me on any email/postal mailing lists for events or shows that you're doing.

Again, thanks for the help.
