The great s/t album posted here will demonstrate exactly what Joe is saying. We're not trying to be a copy of the past, even though we show all those influences'. The other, which I like to introduce to people, is trying to create something new out of the influences that are already existing, but add a little of yourself to those influences. One is to present a case for music that was played in the past, and stay strict to those forms. Joe said that 'There seems to be two different mindsets in blues. To him, blues is rock is country is blues. King, Otis Rush, T-Bone Walker …' The band's style crosses the boundaries of traditional genres, but Joe reckons said that's unavoidable.

You literally can't pick up the guitar and play a lick without quoting someone like B.B. Every guitar player you've ever heard, you were hearing blues. 'You have elements of it in just about everything. You can just hear where it's coming from.' 'Blues is all over the place,' he said. I don't really concern myself with what it is exactly. You can listen to Mozart and hear blues, as far as I'm concerned. 'The way I look at it is Hank Williams was playing blues, even though he was a country artist. Joe says, 'I play blues, but blues isn't necessarily a format like a lot of people think it is,' he said. Joe said his band plays three or four straight-ahead blues songs per set, then does its own material. He's pretty well known in that realm.' Joe formed his own band in the mid-1990s, and was a regular player at Buddy Guy's Legends, and the House of Blues venues.

Ward Meeker, of Vintage Guitar magazine said, 'He's a real good Chicago blues guy, true to the form. He then became a popular session guitarist. Joe Moss first made his name in the Chicago blues scene in the late 1980s with Buddy Scott, whose band was a regular on the city's west side. My dad was into Jimmy Reed and my uncle turned me on to rock 'n' roll'. 'I grew up with my mother listening to and all kinds of stuff. King, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, and Albert King. When Joe learned guitar and started playing his own music, he naturally played blues R&B, soul, rock and funk in the style of artists he'd listened to as a kid, people like B.B. When Joe was a kid in Chicago, a friend played him a Led Zeppelin album, and when Joe heard Joe Robert Plant singing 'I Can't Quit You Baby', he told his friend he'd heard the song before, and that it was an Otis Rush tune.
