CARLA THOMAS
 * The Queen Alone * 

?Von den Majestäten im Musikbusiness thront Carla Thomas als Queen des Memphis Soul unverwechselbar auf den stilprägenden Insignien des Stax-Labels. Bereits der klare, trockene und natürlich klingenden Grundsound dieser Studio-Vorstellung lässt das bodenständige Flair der Stadt im Süden und ihrer musikalischen Tradition spüren. Bemerkenswert nachdenklich eröffnet die Queen ihren Auftritt mit einer straff arrangierten, aber angenehm rund geschmolzenen Version von Burt Bacharachs "Any Day Now". Der besinnliche Einstieg signalisiert klar, dass hier die menschliche Stimme den Ton angibt, ganz gleich, ob ein nun maßvoll stampfender Soul ("Stop Thief") oder metallisch tickender Groove ("I Take It To My Baby") auf der Tracklist stehen. Sogar ein gelegentlicher Griff in den instrumentalen Geigen-Farbtopf ("I Want To Be Your Baby") ist kein Selbstzweck, sondern dient allein zum Veredeln der duftig weichen Singstimme der Hauptperson. Dazu gibt es satt groovende Mehrstimmigkeit nach dem Ruf-Antwort-Prinzip ("Something Good") und mitreißenden gospelseligen Wechselgesang ("Lie To Keep Me From Crying"), wie er den Kern des Soul im Innersten zusammenhält.

Diese Speakers Corner Produktion wurde unter Verwendung von analogem Masterband und Mastering 100% rein analog gefertigt. Alle Lizenzen und GEMA-Beiträge wurden abgeführt.

Aufnahme: 1967 in den Stax Studios, Memphis (USA)
Produktion: Jim Stewart



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.

Recording: 1967 at Stax Studios, Memphis (TN)
Production: Jim Stewart
