Sundazed
is proud to announce the reissue of two soul albums from 1966-’67
by one of the most respect-ed female singers of any era:The Queen
Alone and Carla by Carla Thomas. All are exact reproductions of
these legendary albums on audiophile High-Definition Vinyl, cut directly
from the original Stax analog masters. 1967’s As shown on Carla
and The Queen Alone, Carla Thomas was 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.”
