Joe South began as a session guitarist, working in both Nashville and Muscle Shoals. He played on many country records but also on records by Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan and Simon and Garfunkel. He later had a major international hit with Games people play and another major American hit with Walk a mile in my shoes, but may ultimately be better remembered as a writer of hits for others, notably Deep Purple (Hush), Billy Joe Royal (Down in the boondocks), Lynn Anderson (Rose garden), These are not my people (Freddy Weller) and Birds of a feather (Paul Revere and the Raiders) - a truly diverse selection of artists.
Joe's songs often contain very interesting lyrics that generally reflected his own insecurity and frustrations (so obvious in Rose garden, a song in which he clearly indicates that he's not going to live up to other people's expectations). As such, many people found them easy to relate to and that may be the basis of their popularity - listen to Concrete jungle, Clock up on the wall, Children and some of the other songs.
Die-hard fans may not be satisfied, but this compilation contains all the essential Joe South tracks that everybody else expects to find here (his own hits and his original versions of his other famous songs), plus some other great songs that are also worth hearing.
