The hard-working Joe Simon cut three albums in 1969 (admittedly, this was back in the day when a pop album rarely ran over 35 minutes, but that's still an impressive amount of material in the space of twelve months), and if Better Than Ever found Simon running a bit short on top-shelf material, as a vocalist he wa. soul (even if Arthur Alexander's later recording topped it). Not quite top-shelf Joe Simon, Better Than Ever is still good enough to please anyone who loves Southern soul at its best. 1 Silver Spoons and Coffee Cups Joe Simon 2:56. 2 It's Hard to Get Along Joe Simon 2:56. 3 In the Ghetto Joe Simon 2:44. 4 I Got a Whole Lot of Lovin' Joe Simon 2:27. 5 Wounded Man Joe Simon 2:55. 6 Time and Space Joe Simon 2:44.
