5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Purchase for Joe South Fans, June 26, 2005

This review is from: Joe South Tribute Album (Audio CD)

With a bit of trepidation one buys a tribute album because generally the cover performances pale to the originals. With that said, most of the artists on this disc turn in fine readings of these classic Joe South songs.However, the Otis Clay version of "Walk A Mile In My Soes" is something else: he not only beats Elvis Presley's version but also tops Joe's. It is that incredible!. Also, I give high praise to the performances of "Down In The Boondocks" "Hush" and "The Greatest Love" . The sound quality of this compact disc is stellar and there is some nice linear notes.However, they fail to mention anything about what Joe South is currently up to (just a nit pick). Thanks to the artists and the producers for putting this wonderful project out!

I bought this CD because I love Joe South's music, and I do think the covers of his songs are very good, especially "Rose Garden" and "Don't It Make You Want To Go Home". But the only artist on this collection that I had ever heard of before now is Tom Heyman; I know nothing about any of the other artists and the liner notes could have been more helpful in identifying them for fokes like me. Also, it would have been halpful to have more info on what Joe South himself is doing these days. (It is implied that he is still alive, but that's about it.)
