I remember seeing a early Rolling Stone back in the day with a article on Joe south and the headline was "Joe South says Country Music is shit", or something like that. I always loved him for that.

Great links. I'm curious if anyone checked out the version of Games People Play that I posted above. This is the house band that my brother plays in.

One of his best!

I had no idea until reading the LA Times obit that Joe South wrote Untie Me. I grew up with Manfred Mann's recording of that.
