Review by Richie Unterberger
These two late-'60s albums were released at the peak of Joe South's commercial success and visibility, coinciding with his hits "Games People Play" (which appears on 1968's Introspect) and "Walk a Mile in My Shoes" (which is on 1969's Don't It Make You Want To Go Homenull). This Raven reissue combines both records onto one CD, with the addition of the way-cool psychedelic soul outing "Hole in Your Soul" (from the Games People Play album) as a bonus track. As no less than 14 of the 22 tracks also appear on Raven's own Anthology: A Mirror of His Mind -- Hits and Highlights 1968-1975 -- nine of Introspect's 11 cuts, in fact, are also on Anthology -- it could be questioned whether listeners who have that best-of really need this too. Read More
