CD ReviewsExcellent CD!!! 07/29/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "This CD chronicles Joe South, a popular 60s songwriter from his peak careerwise to his final album in 1975. Included are cuts from his many albums, uncluding the often ignored albums 'A Look Inside' and 'Midnight Rainbows.' The only album not present in this compilation is 'So the Seeds are Growing' and of course his early material. Any fan of Joe or 60s music in general will want to pick this one up!! To truly experience Joe one must pick up all of his albums, but this collection is close, and better than the now out of print 1990 release by Rhino (However that CD had 'Fool Me' which I miss on this one)." Disappointing song selection Peter Durward Harris | 08/17/1999 (2 out of 5 stars) "Joe South deserves better. So do his longtime fans. What's needed is for some wise and knowledgeable record company to reissue Joe's entire catalogue on CD instead of forcing us to get by with unsatisfying compilations like this one and the one that Rhino came out with several years ago. For starters, where's his greatest rocker, "Heart's Desire"? How about the stirring "Glad To Be Living On The Earth Today"? Or the lament, "To Have, To Hold, And Let Go"? Then there's another of his biting social observations, "Hole In Your Soul." He also did a fine version of "Stranger In A Strange Land." Joe South could do rock, blues, soul, folk, ballads -- you name it. And that guy could play some guitar, too. So c'mon, one of you record companies, get with it and reissue ALL Joe's albums from his various labels. Remaster them from the ORIGINAL tapes, get somebody who can pen detailed liner notes, find out "who played what" on all the songs, and include the session dates if you can. Make Joe's legions of fans happy. Until you do, these weak compilations don't cut it -- even one that includes "Midnight Rainbows," which is the only reason I gave this CD two stars." I agree with a previous reviewer - Joe South is the BEST Richard J. Silverberg | Kew Gardens, New York USA | 12/13/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Joe South had it all. He could write. He could sing. He could play. He could produce. All of the man's talents led to some of the most memorable music of the late 60's and early 70's. His music contains elements of pop, country, gospel, folk, rock, soul and psychedelia. All the styles are seamlessly melded together. Many of these songs have been hits for other artists . For example, "Hush" by Deep Purple, "Down In The Boondocks" by Billy Joe Royal, and "I've Never Promised You A Rose Garden" by Lynn Anderson. Also, the collection includes songs that were hits for Joe South - "Games People Play" and "Walk A Mile In My Shoes." The sound of the compact disc is very clear and detailed. The c.d. also contains a fine essay about Joe South.
For me, the most memorable thing about his music are the lyrics. The words are insightful and socially relevant. There are too many lyrics that I could quote that are thought provoking. Also, the musical production includes biting electric guitars, electric sitars, strings, horns, gospel type choruses,and just about anything else that was prevalent in late 60', early 70's pop/ rock. I hope a record company would make his whole catalog available on compact disc" |
