CD Reviews

Best ever soul album!

jerryleelewis2 | 10/03/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Atlantic and Stax can't compete with Goldwax. This is southern soul at it's most down home, grits and gravy best. James Carr, with three tracks on this compilation, competes with Solomon Burke, Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, and others as the greatest soul singer of all time, and Spencer Wiggins, with four tracks, isn't very far behind. The latters version of "Uptight, Good Woman" just about defines southern soul to me in the same degree as James Carr's "Dark End Of The Street" and "Pouring Water On A Drowning Man". The Goldwax story was short, lasting for about six years, but like the story of other gréat Memphis labels such as Sun, Hi, and Stax it will stand. For sheer quality, if not for commercial succes.
This is the best soul compilation I've ever heard in my life.
Buy it and feel sanctified."

Just fantasic

"If you like soul music, you need to get this album. Goldwax records produced some great music, particularly James Carr and the first secular recording by O.V. Wright, "That's How Strong My Love Is", which was covered by the Rolling Stones. There is also some great stuff by somebody named Spencer Wigggins, and a lot of other good stuff. If you like this kind of music, you should get James Carr, "The Complete Goldwax Singles" also."
