Junk and Sale Bin Shop Finds 6 : Joe South's Greatest Hits

I picked this one up for $2 - great buy.  Joe had bigger hits when other people sang his songs - I hope he had the copyright sorted out.

The copy I bought was the NZ version of this album which has two extra songs on each side (including the critical Rose Garden) and a tackier cover.  But the extra music makes it well worth having.

Some great songs, Games People Play (won the Grammy for Song of the year when it was released), Hush (more soulful than any of the other versions including those by Russell Morris, Billy Joe Royal and of course Deep Purple), Walk a Mile in My Shoes, Down in the Boondocks and Rose Garden.

But there is not a bad song on this album - Great Buy!!!
