Thomas, Carla - Carla

NEW VINYL LP ON SUNDAZED 2004.

Sundazed is proud to announce the reissue of two soul albums from 1966-’67 by one of the most respect-ed female singers of any era:The Queen Alone and Carla by Carla Thomas. All are exact reproductions of these legendary albums on audiophile High-Definition Vinyl, cut directly from the original Stax analog masters. 1967’s As shown on Carla and The Queen Alone, Carla Thomas was to Memphis’ Stax Records what Aretha was to Atlantic: the label’s reigning matriarch, able to wrap her glorious voice around “B-A-B-Y” and “Let Me Be Good To You,” chart-toppers from the precocious songwriting team of Isaac Hayes and David Porter, as well as R&B standards like Willie Dixon’s “Little Red Rooster.” Backed by the Stax house combo, fronted by Booker T. and Steve Cropper, Carla also shows off her storied versatility with knockout renderings of “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” and “I Fall To Pieces.”  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carla_Thomas
