Joe Cruz
Good Luck Man
COUNTRY/BLUES
With a musical career spanning over 40 years, a favorite question that Texas Singer/Songwriter Joe Cruz is often asked: "What was your greatest moment in the music business?" Without hesitation Joe answers, "June 6, 1976 at the Baytown, Texas Fairgrounds, opening for Willie Nelson at one his famous outdoor concerts! It was the first time I had ever done an outdoor concert with an audience in excess of 10,000 screaming people! Standing on that huge stage and singing for that mass of people had to be my greatest moment."
Of course, some members of Joe's band, The Cruisers, might want to argue that because there were so many great moments in those 40 years. Moments like recording your first record and hearing it on the radio for the first time; or maybe appearing on TV for the first time; or the first big star you worked with. But things really started heating up in the late 70's for Joe Cruz and The Cruisers. Playing nightly shows in the Houston/Pasadena area biggest and most popular nightspots, Joe signed with Mickey Gilley's organization just as the Urban Cowboy craze was taking hold. That opportunity led to performing on shows with some of Country Music's biggest names like Mickey Gilley, Johnny Lee, David Alan Coe, David Houston, Billy Walker, Johnny Paycheck, Floyd Tillman, Michael Martin Murphy, Eddie Raven, Jerry Lee Lewis, and countless others.
