When you hear the cover songs on Joe Caro & the Met Band’s "Every Dog Has His Day"—classics from Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix and Carole King and one Great American Songbook standard—your first thought may very well be, "I’ve never heard those songs played like that before!" Then it occurs to you the original compositions by Caro—the acclaimed guitarist and vocalist who’s been an in-demand session musician in New York for decades—are equally exciting and original, pumped with soul, adrenaline and sharp arrangements along with some of the most virtuosic musicianship imaginable! - - Caro has long been a regular on the New York underground scene, fronting an all-star band that included trumpeter Chris Botti, saxman Lenny Pickett and Late Show drummer Anton Fig; performing every Tuesday night at the city’s Metropolitan Café. What started out as a two-week gig continued for eight years and became the home base for many New York City session musicians.
