(Joe) Simon Says,
By
This review is from: Music in My Bones: Best of (Audio CD)
Never a star on the order of Al Green or Marvin Gaye, Joe Simon was nevertheless a regular presence on r&b charts during the seventies, and even made the occasional dent in pop ones.
Possessing a dry alto much like the Chairmen of the Board's General Johnson, he hit with "The Chokin' Kind", "Drowning In the Sea Of Love", the theme from 'Cleopatra Jones' and the disco-era "Get Down Get Down (Get On The Floor)". 'Music In My Bones' is arranged chronologically, so it's easy to trace the evolution of Simon's career. And like Aretha before she arrived at Atlantic, it's obvious from the first nine tracks that Simon struggled to find the right setting for his voice. But all that changed when he switched labels in the early-seventies. Beginning with "Drowning", 'Music In My Bones' becomes a river of righteous, rumbling funk. Beyond the hits listed earlier, "Pool of Bad Luck", "Trouble in My Home", "Carry Me" and the kinetic "Step By Step" reveal a Joe Simon I never knew existed. While three stars may not seem very impressive, the second half of this disc easily rates four and-a-half. For anyone interested in seventies r&b, this is a treat. And done with Rhino's usual excellence, it becomes a must-have. Simon says buy!

Only at Amazon,
This review is from: Music in My Bones: Best of (Audio CD)
I bought this cd for my mother. For the past 6/7 years, she's asked my siblings and I if we've seen any music by this guy. For years I checked with the different music clubs to no avail. But this year, when trying to find "the perfect gift" for her, I tried looking on amazon.com and sure enough there it was. She was so excited! I was just happy to have picked the right cd that had her favorite song on it. Now, she, better yet my dad, knows where to look to find more Joe Simon.
