Carla Thomas & Band
Among all the majestic eminences in the music
business, Carla Thomas reigned unmistakably as
'The Queen of Memphis Soul' on the Stax label with
its special characteristics. The clear, dry and
natural essential sound of this studio recording
imparts the down-to-earth flair of the southern
town Memphis and its musical tradition. With
wonderful contemplation, the Queen begins her
performance with a tautly arranged but pleasantly
round and melting version of Burt Bacharach?s 'Any
Day Now'. The reflective opening clearly signals
that the human voice is of major importance here,
no matter whether a restrained pulsating soul
number ('Stop Thief') or a metallically ticking
groove ('I Take It To My Baby') is on the track
list. Even an occasional dip into the violin
paint-pot ('I Want To Be Your Baby') is not an end
in itself but serves exclusively to refine the
diaphanous, gentle voice of the principal singer.
In addition there is lush, groovy polyphony with a
call-and-response concept ('Somethings Good') and
intoxicating gospel-like antiphony ('Lie To Keep
Me From Crying'), all good for keeping the soul of
Soul together.
This Speakers Corner LP was remastered using pure
analogue components only, from the master tapes
through to the cutting head. All royalties and
mechanical rights have been paid.
