 CD Mendelson Joe Live At Sixty-Five

What M. Joe says about his new CD: “The songs embodied herein are a tiny snippet of my story from the early 1970s to the present. Imre de Jonge recorded me Live at The Barn, Huntsville, Ontario in September 2009. Torontonian Michael Damico souped up the sounds, sequenced, mastered and co-produced the packaging. I made the paintings, took the photos, wrote the writings, designed the package and produced this recording for OLD BOLD RECORDS.”

"Alien: The Strange Life And Times Of Mendelson Joe"
by Mendelson Joe as told to Nadia Halim,
published by ECW Press of Toronto.

He believes that speaking out can make a difference, that women are the only hope for the future, and that there's truth in a good blues song. He doesn't believe in God, compromise or schmaltz.

Alien brings together some of the best of Joe's artwork, along with extensive interviews with the man and the people who know him. Joe holds forth on the things that fascinate him: the female body, motorcycles, rabbits, nature, art and music. He tells of touring the world with his blues-rock band Mainline in the early '70s, sharing concert stages with burlesque strippers, and discovering a passion for art after rescuing a set of acrylic paints from a garbage can.

Published by ECW Press, October 2000, 160 pages, 6" x 9", 16 colour photos of M.Joe paintings, 20 black and white photos.

"Working Women: Portraits by Mendelson Joe"
"[Mendelson Joe] paints with more emotion than almost any other painter in the country. It comes through blazingly in the colours of his 'Working Women' series."
Peter Goddard, Toronto Star

In the words of Mendelson Joe: "My purpose in my work, any of it, from song to essay to picture, is to tell the truth and it seems that most truth ain't couth. Inequality bugs me. Prejudice bugs me. And, I've long believed that women are the only hope for this ever-degrading organism that mothered us all. So, in 1982, I began to paint portraits of women. The purpose was to document women in the context of their job descriptions, so the pictures showed them as working folks as opposed to sexual objects."

Along with faithful reproductions of the original paintings, Joe has added his own brand of particular comments about the subject and the sessions.

Published by ECW Press, November 2004, 102 pages, 6.25" x 9.25", 50 full-colour reproductions.

"Joe's Toronto: Portraiture by Mendelson Joe"

When Joe fell into painting and loved it like music, it was inevitable that he would document his friends, colleagues, neighbours and others. For years, he painted portraits of Torontonians known and unknown, including: Robert Fulford, Robert Priest, Irshad Manji, Margaret Atwood, Bernie Finkelstein, Stan the Fan and Babydoll Grandma.

Over thirty years later, his portraits of Torontonians amount to a significant body of work, and here in Joe's Toronto, he exhibits fifty portraits from the experience. It tells both his story and the story of those he portrayed. Along with faithful reproductions of the original paintings, Joe has added his own brand of comments about the subjects and the sessions.

Published by ECW Press, October 2005, 102 pages, 6.25" x 9.25", 50 full-colour reproductions.
