BETA Records - Your music matters!

I have been in the music biz for some 40 years. Starting out when I was 12 years old. Into rock and roll in that time. I have spent most my musical time trying to develop different forms for the blues. I have stumbled on the combination of blues put together with some radical jazz chords and now we call it URBAN BLUES.
We are a 4 piece, Central New York based group. We came up with the name back in 1997 as our new music begain to be noticed. We are called LIL'JOE B and the HOODOOS. Although we still play some classic as well as traditional blues, we tend to keep our shows as original as we can.
There are also 2 other CD's that I have done with collaboration with my key board player. In 2000, we came out with GOT MY REASONS. This was our test CD to see what direction worked best for us. It is a culmination of all types of musical genres. In 2002, we concentrated on our particular style with the CD entitled, OH NOW BABY. That brings us up to today's endeavor, YA CAN'T DO THAT. I changed the pace a bit and went for some classic and new sounds. I hope you will enjoy my songs. Thank you for knowing our music.
