Editorial review
Containing ten of Joe Simon's biggest hits released during the late 1960s and early '70s ("The Chokin' Kind," "Teenager's Prayer," "My Special Prayer"), The Best of Joe Simon is an all-too-brief compilation that shuts out most of his vibrant '70s material, as well as some of his finest songs released during the years covered. If you want a more thorough summation of this phase of Simon's career (and you really should), seek out 2001's Monument of Soul (released by RPM); and, if you want a taste of some of the hits from later in the '70s, seek out 1997's Music in My Bones: The Best of Joe Simon (released by Rhino). [Note: The contents of this release are identical to that of a disc with the same title released in 2006 by Collectables.] ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
The best selling of all the CDs in the Purnima line, this perennial favorite features lyrical melodies woven from the music of many cultures, performed on Celtic harp, zithers, psaltery, flutes of modern and native ancestory and a sprinkling of other spice like piano, clarinet, violin and hammer-dulcimer. Michael and Mead have performed together for decades and it really shows here. Track #5, Norwegian Nights was used for a Valentine's Day episode of the network soap General Hospital!
"Timeless, pristine music ... their lush sense of melody and textural interplay makes their music remain in the mind. This is what modern instrumental music should sound like."
-John Diliberto, host of Public Radio International's ECHOES program
