█ Review by Richie Unterberger █
█ █
█ Joe Tex had been releasing records for almost a decade before he had his █
█ first hit in 1965. This 25-track compilation doesn't come close to █
█ including all of them, but it does a good job in assembling the most █
█ important of those, concentrating solely on discs he made for the Dial █
█ label, almost all of the songs having been cut in 1961-1964 prior to his █
█ chart breakthrough. At this point, Tex -- as was the case in the █
█ pre-fame recordings of numerous '60s soul stars -- was still searching █
█ for a style to some degree, and by and large the cuts aren't as earthy █
█ as the ones he'd lay down later in the decade. There are even songs with █
█ strong debts to early-'60s dance-novelty tunes ("The Peck"); █
█ arrangements similar to those heard in early-'60s 45s by poppy early █
█ soul singers like Marv Johnson and Dee Clark; and hints of Clyde █
█ McPhatter, Sam Cooke, and doo wop. Yet at the same time, there are also █
█ strong pleading ballads much closer to the Southern soul style with █
█ which he became identified, all of them written by Tex himself, the █
█ slightly James Brown-ish "Blood's Thicker Than Water" being a particular █
█ highlight in that regard. Because this isn't Tex at his peak or his most █
█ characteristic, you wouldn't recommend this as the first or second █
█ anthology to acquire. But if you do like Tex at his '60s peak, it's █
█ suggested listening, both because it illustrates his roots and because █
█ it's enjoyable on its own merits. Also on the CD are a few tracks that █
█ fall outside the disc's principal aim of anthologizing 1961-1964 Dial █
█ singles, but are worthy additions that are hard to find on compact disc, █
█ including the 1967 holiday-themed 45 "I'll Make Every Day Christmas (For █
█ My Woman)" and its flip, "Don't Give Up"; the 1965 B-side "Build Your █
█ Love on a Solid Foundation"; and two cuts from a 1965 LP, "Tell Me Right █
█ Now" and the Sam Cooke-styled "There Is a Girl." █
