You're listening to the podcasting blues show I'm bringing to You Today, a topic
on James Carr season. After being turned down by Stax Records, James Carr
made his first recordings for gold Wax Records. It is a Memphis sixty soul
label founded in Memphis, Tennessee in nineteen sixty four by Quentin clanch and Rudolph
V. Russell, and is most known for James Carr's singles. In nineteen
sixty four, James released several singles for the label before achieving his first success
in nineteen six twenty six, When You've Got My Mind Messed Up reached number
seven on the Billboard R and B chart and number sixty three on the Pop
chart. He also released the successful and critically acclaimed album You Got My Mind
Missed Up. James Carr gave us a rhythm and blues soulful sound like Otis
Redding, except their styles were different. ODIs Redding seemed more like an energetic
type of singer on stage, and he had a more raspy voice and lots
of passion. James Carr had a more emotional vocal style. He had a
deep kind of voice and smooth but both car and Redding were great soulful singers
in the nineteen sixties. Carr's album You Got My Mind Messed Up is a
great album. There are songs such as Pouring Water on a Drowning Man,
Love Attack, coming back to Me Baby, I Don't Want to be Hurt
Anymore, just to name a few. James Carr suffered from bipolar disorder for
most of his life, but he was dubbed the world's greatest soul singer.
