▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ RELEASE NOTES ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▄
█▓ ▓█
█▓ FOR MANY SOUTHERN soul fans Goldwax was the ▓█
█▓ Memphis label from the Golden Age. Although only ▓█
█▓ around 60 singles were issued between 1964 and ▓█
█▓ late 1969, when the concern closed its doors, ▓█
█▓ pound for pound the quality was almost ▓█
█▓ unparalleled. Owners Quinton Claunch and Rudolph ▓█
█▓ "Doc" Russell specialised in heavyweight music, ▓█
█▓ with their country roots forming a potent hybrid ▓█
█▓ with the gospel-based singers they recorded. This ▓█
█▓ compilation, with its mixture of classics and ▓█
█▓ rarities, follows on from the highly successful ▓█
█▓ first volume Kent released a couple of years ago. ▓█
█▓ If anything it contains more of the ballad ▓█
█▓ wizardry that has made the Goldwax name such a ▓█
█▓ fabled one. ▓█
█▓ ▓█
█▓ The jewel in the Goldwax crown was undoubtedly the ▓█
█▓ dark, rich baritone vocals of James Carr - the ▓█
█▓ subject of three individual Ace CDs in this series ▓█
█▓ - whose subtlety of phrasing and nuances of ▓█
█▓ expression produced many a deep soul masterpiece. ▓█
█▓ His cut here is a rare mix of one of his typical ▓█
█▓ 6/8 tempo, country, soul gems, A Woman Is A Man's ▓█
█▓ Best Friend, which was previously only available ▓█
█▓ in Japan in this version. ▓█
█▓ ▓█
█▓ But the label was far from a one trick pony - ▓█
█▓ there were several other artists who cut for ▓█
█▓ Goldwax whose places in the soul pantheon are ▓█
█▓ assured. Take Spencer Wiggins for example, whose ▓█
█▓ impassioned pleadings have made him a cult hero. ▓█
█▓ His version of Aretha's I Never Loved A Man, with ▓█
█▓ the genders reversed, is one of his best-ever ▓█
█▓ performances, with the screw tightened even ▓█
█▓ further by the super-charged whine of Duane ▓█
█▓ "Skydog" Allman's slide guitar egging him on. Or ▓█
█▓ what about O V Wright, the Boss of Southern Soul, ▓█
█▓ who made a brief visit to Goldwax at the start of ▓█
█▓ his illustrious secular career. His track, the ▓█
█▓ chugging There Goes My Used To Be, only confirms ▓█
█▓ his stature. Louis Williams, lead singer with ▓█
█▓ Ovations who sadly died recently, deserves to be ▓█
█▓ mentioned in this company as well. His uncanny Sam ▓█
█▓ Cooke-styled vocals never fail to lift the spirits ▓█
█▓ and his two tracks here are both fine examples of ▓█
█▓ his art. ▓█
█▓ ▓█
█▓ Other highlights on the CD include the hard, ▓█
█▓ bluesy style of Dorothy Williams; Eddie ▓█
█▓ Jefferson's classic, deep, When You Look In The ▓█
█▓ Mirror and three wonderful Percy Milem songs; ▓█
█▓ especially the tender ballad Crying Baby Baby ▓█
█▓ Baby, which is simply one of the best songs ever ▓█
█▓ put out by the company. A particular treat is the ▓█
█▓ inclusion of a couple of numbers by the late O B ▓█
█▓ McClinton, who not only penned some great material ▓█
█▓ for James Carr, but went on to a unique career as ▓█
█▓ a black country performer. ▓█
█▓ ▓█
█▓ For the anoraks, there are a couple of previously ▓█
█▓ unissued tracks apiece by Barbara Perry and the ▓█
█▓ underrated Wee Willie Walker, whose Goldwax ▓█
█▓ recordings both on the label and leased out to ▓█
█▓ Chess are perhaps definitive of Claunch and ▓█
█▓ Russell's output. They never owned a recording ▓█
█▓ studio, preferring to use the cream of the local ▓█
█▓ facilities, as well as taking the occasional foray ▓█
█▓ down to Fame in Muscle Shoals. The roll-call of ▓█
█▓ the musicians on these recordings would read like ▓█
█▓ a Who's Who of the profession; they take centre ▓█
█▓ stage in the only instrumental here under the ▓█
█▓ leadership of the late Gene "Bowlegs" Miller. ▓█
█▓ ▓█
█▓ The music is superbly enhanced by some fascinating ▓█
█▓ reminiscences from Claunch himself on the artists ▓█
█▓ and songs on the CD courtesy of researcher Colin ▓█
█▓ Dilnot. The CD shows yet again just why the name ▓█
█▓ Goldwax makes the heart beat a little faster - and ▓█
█▓ why the sight of that gold/yellow logo spinning on ▓█
█▓ a turntable was such a potent one. ▓█
