Album Review: Joe Iconis & Family Release a Hyper-Generous, Uber-Artistic, Super-Sensational ALBUM
There are two tells right on the cover of the new CD release by Joe Iconis titled ALBUM that will let the listener know precisely what they will get when they press the 'play' button on their device, and a third tell that appears, like an Easter Egg, in the credits.

When composer-playwright Joe Iconis premiers his new, debut pop album, entitled Album, at Feinstein’s/54 Below on July 8 (through July 11), this won’t be the first time he has played songs apart from his beloved musicals such as Broadway’s Be More Chill or Off-Broadway smashes Love in Hate Nation, The Black Suits, Bloodsong of Love and Broadway Bounty Hunter.
Ever since Feinstein’s/54 Below opened its doors a decade ago as a lab-hub for new writers to develop their work, the pianist and vocalist has played songs, in-and-around those musicals being workshopped for the larger stage. Among the epic list of 44 tracks that fill Album, many an Iconis song has already graced the F/54 B’s stage, and the album is alive with that party vibe.
“The spirit of those events of the past, whether at Joe’s Pub or Feinstein’s/54 Below, is totally a part of this recording,” says Iconis. “It’s definitely not a live album, but it is an album that has that ‘live’ energy.”
