Info zu Carla [Mono]

The HighResAudio reissue of one of the most respected female singers of any era: Carla by Carla Thomas is available now in 96 kHz. Carla Thomas was signed 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.'

Paired with Stax writing whiz-kids Isaac Hayes and David Porter, Thomas had her greatest chart run, beginning with the hit 'B-A-B-Y' and continuing with 'Let Me Be Good to You.' Both of those appear here, alongside evocative slabs of country-soul in covers of Hank Williams's 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry' and Patsy Cline's 'I Fall to Pieces.' For good measure, Thomas also tries her hand at the blues with covers of Howlin' Wolf's 'Little Red Rooster' and Jimmy Reed's 'Baby What You Want Me to Do?' (Rob Bowman)

Digitally remastered directly from the original Stax analog masters

Carla Thomas
Born in 1942 in Memphis as a daughter of Rufus Thomas, Carla Thomas was at Stax from the beginning to the end and gained the surname of "Memphis Queen". After a first hit duet with Rufus (Cause i Love You) in a Satellite studio where the paint was still wet, she was borrowed by Atlantic for several years before joining the actual Stax label.
