  My 3rd solo album from 2016 and first on vinyl.
  
  “Presumably the only local musician who can brag of having his songs played on NPR’s “Car Talk,” Joe Fahey (ex-Carp 18) hosts a release party Saturday, 5-9 p.m., at Harriet Brewing for his third solo record, “Somnambulist Chaser.” What a charmer this one is. Fahey sounds like a free-association songwriter version of Tom Petty over richly textured, Dylan-meets-Feelies Americana arrangements in such wry, wordy gems as “The Drunken Prisoner of Circumstance.” …”
  Chris Riemenschneider - Minneapolis Star Tribune
  “Joe Fahey digs deep in intimate, quietly stunning 'Somnambulist Chaser' True to Fahey’s quick wit and wacky worldview, “Somnambulist Chaser” kicks off with the quirky “Spring Forward (And Fall Back),” then hits its emotional high point with “Stable Wounds,” a confessional tune worthy of one of Joe’s longtime songwriting heroes, Jackson Browne. In the end, though, it’s all Joe Fahey, and, in a mad mad music world that revolves around quick-hit singles, “Somnambulist Chaser” is one man’s long-playing deep dive into the human condition.”
  Jim Walsh - Minnpost
  “At a glance of the cover art and a title like Somnambulist Chaser, it looked like this album might be kind of dark and heavy. I put on the first track and found the upbeat intro song of the album to be not quite I was expecting. The track “Spring Forward (Fall Back)” is exactly what the title implies. “Spring forward, fall back, they take away an hour and give it back,” sings Fahey in the opening line. The song has the feel of The Dead Milkmen or They Might Be Giants with it’s light hearted, somewhat humorous, playful surfish-punk. “You can blame it on Ben Franklin who figures he’d be the one/So he could see his friends, girlfriends, and take off at a quarter to one.” This brief and quirky history lesson was not what I was expecting. It seemed somehow relevant that Fahey released the album right around Daylight Savings with that track, but it made me wonder where he was going with it. When looking at the back of the CD case, I noticed that the tracks are listed as Side”
  Paul Whyte - Duluth Reader (Reader Weekly)
  “Somnambulist Chaser doesn’t sound like a very hard job, and sure enough, Joe Fahey makes everything sound easy on his wry new album. (Sample song titles: “Spring Forward (Fall Back),” “The Drunken Prisoner of Circumstance,” “Bon Bons for Algernon,” “Fall Back (Spring Forward).”) The local music vet releases this amiably ambling collection on Saturday with a performance at Harriet Brewing.”
