About

The Beautiful Madness explores the territory Jerry Joseph understands best—the darker side of the human condition—calling attention to the toll politics takes on humanity, the under-explored dynamics in relationships, and the truths about ourselves we’d rather not see. These songs include some of his most masterful yet and are all written with his trademark intelligence and courage, delivered with his powerful, raw passion.
