JAMES CARR

One of the greatest pure vocalists that deep Southern soul ever produced, James Carr 

is often mentioned in the same breath as Otis Redding, Percy Sledge, and 

Aretha Franklin in terms of the wrenching emotional power in his delivery. 

Or at least he is by hardcore soul aficionados; despite producing several 

classic R&B singles and some of the most intense country-soul ever waxed, 

Carr never achieved the pop crossover success that could have made him a 

household name, and his material wasn't always as distinctive 

as that of Stax artists like Redding or Sam & Dave

Along with his other original Goldwax LP, You Got My Mind Messed Up, James Carr's 

Man Needs a Woman represents one of the high watermarks of Southern soul music. 

And beyond his tonal resemblance to Otis Redding, Carr was as distinct a voice 

as the genre ever produced. Compilations on both Kent (Complete Goldwax Singles) 

and Razor & Tie (The Essential James Carr) are certainly good places to start, 

but this LP might be even a better introductory title, especially considering the 

likelihood one will want to obtain all of Carr's prime late-'60s work. Whether Carr 

revels in the up-tempo soul of "I'm a Fool for Your" or stops the presses on 

sanctified slow-burners like "You've Got My Mind Messed Up" and the Dan Penn 

and Chips Moman-penned classic "Dark End of the Street," the intensity never falters...(AllMusic)
