Joe's Best Music I searched for a long time to find it on CD. I bought this music on cassette when it was initally released. I was so pleased to find it on Amazon. I listen to it often. It came out the year my father passed away and "Almost Home" was the one of the songs I related to the most, along with "A Thousand Winding Roads". Every song on this CD speaks to the heart. This CD is the reason I purchase all of his others.
joe's best works (A thousand Winding Roads)
A Thousand Winding Roads is my favorite of all of Joe's works. Joe shows his influences on this CD. You can hear hints of all the Country Greats on this CD. . . . Hershel Brown.
Brilliant debut for a fine singer
If you've got one of the various hits packages, you have those three songs already and may be wondering why you need this. The first three tracks here - Home, If the devil danced in empty pockets and If you want me to - were all big country hits that helped Joe begin a recording career that was successful without ever making him a really major star. The answer is simple - the quality of the other seven songs is extremely high.
Although the album has a contemporary edge, it should appeal to most traditional country fans. Joe is capable of singing a variety of songs, including the upbeat New way to light up an old flame, the sad There goes the neighbourhood and the wistful Stranger in your eyes. Indeed, every song is brilliant and many of them were probably considered for single release - it is that kind of album.
Of Joe's original albums, this is generally regarded as his best. I cannot say that for certain as I have not heard all the others, but I haven't heard a better one and I can imagine that he would have difficulty improving on this one.
