A New, Un-Slick Joe South: A Look Inside
Charlie Gillett, Rolling Stone, 29 March 1973
AT ONE OF Joe Souths infrequent live shows, in some small place in Georgia a year or so back, he wasnt getting the response he wanted. "I tell you what," he called to the audience, "why dont you all get out of your seats, take each others hands, and start dancing around the hall. Then when you come down here in front of the stage, each one of you can kiss my ass."
