Complete Goldwax Singles 2 1966-1967 / Various

2009, the second volume of the Complete Goldwax Singles sees US hit the label's golden period, where classic southern soul 45s pour out at a rate of knots. James Carr cements his place in the pantheon of great soul singers with a series of simply jaw-dropping singles. On this volume we have 'You Got My Mind Messed Up', 'Love Attack' and 'Pouring Water on a Drowning Man' before we get to 'Dark End of the Street', the song that not only defined him, but quite possibly the whole southern soul genre.
