Joe Simon - The Chokin Kind
Review by Higor Pacheco
The Chokin Kind by Joe Simon is a classic soul album that showcases the singer's powerful vocals and emotional range. Released in 1969, the album features a mix of original songs and covers, all of which are infused with Simon's signature style.
The album's title track, "The Chokin Kind," is a standout with its haunting melody and lyrics about a toxic love affair. Simon's voice is raw and passionate, perfectly capturing the song's sense of desperation and longing.
Other highlights include "Come On and Get It" and "I Can't See Nobody," both of which showcase Simon's ability to infuse even the most upbeat songs with a sense of melancholy. The album also includes a powerful rendition of "The Weight" by The Band, which Simon makes his own with his soulful interpretation.

Simon's professional career began when he moved to Oakland, California, and released, "My Adorable One" in 1962, which was a minor hit. In 1964, Joe met , a Nashville-based disc jockey who began guiding the singer's musical path, initially on the label. "Let's Do It Over" (1965), Simon's first R&B hit, emphasized Richbourg's preference for a blend of gentle soul and country, and the singer's smooth delivery found its niche on such poignant songs as "Teenager's Prayer
