Review: Joe Tex – "I’ll Never Do You Wrong" (1968) Released in 1968, stands as a pivotal moment in Joe Tex’s career, anchoring his experimental but deeply soulful album, Soul Country . While the album itself saw Tex exploring contemporary country charts, this self-penned track remains a masterclass in Southern Soul.
