"During his short life ended abruptly by a heart attack in 1982 (he was just 49) Joe Tex had a glittering career, hitting the charts with numerous singles throughout multiple phases of Black American music. His repertoire includes doo wop, soul, r'n'b, funk, pre-disco, and last but not least, his personal view of conjugating soul and country music. His Texan roots and his capability of mastering soul music in all forms created a well blended genre that is immediately recognizable as his own. 1968 Soul Country is mostly an album of covers that hinges on the magic of mixing two cultures, two roots not so distant in their popular approach."
