Tokyo Joe (album)

Tokyo Joe is the eponymous debut studio album by the American rock band Tokyo Joe. It was released in 1977 on Warner Bros. Records. The album features a blend of rock, pop, and country influences, and is notable for its smooth production and melodic songwriting. While the album did not achieve widespread commercial success, it helped establish Tokyo Joe as a prominent regional act, particularly in the Southeastern United States. Key tracks from the album include "Gator Country" (although associated more strongly with Molly Hatchet), "Dancin' Shoes," and "Runaway." The album is often seen as representative of the 1970s Southern rock scene, although it also incorporated elements of mainstream pop rock.
