JAMES CARR - THE COMPLETE GOLDWAX SINGLES
(KENT SOUL, CDKEND 202)

Superb collection dedicated to one of greatest soul singer of all time, containing all his Goldwax recordings. Starting with "The Dark End Of The Street", a classic track that inspired several cover versions, every second of this CD gives intense emotions. The mood is mainly reflective thanks to stunning ballads like "You've Got My Mind Messed Up", "Love Attack", "Pouring Water On A Drowning Man", "A Man Needs A Woman", and "To Love Somebody". Add a club classic like "Freedom Train", the Torch favourite "That's What I Want To Know" and "Only Fools Run Away", a classy Big City style midtempo that could work fine on the dancefloor, and you have a sampler of what Soul music is. Another gem from Kent records.
