Customer Reviews

The other Memphis based Soul-label
Goldwax was the other Memphis based soul label besides the much better known Stax label. As a lover of the Stax sound I decided that it was time to broaden my Southern Soul horizon and bought this record. It is as good as the best on Stax and therefor some of the best Southern Soul you will ever hear. James Carr's "Dark end of the street" is probably the best known Goldwax track. The others are (almost)as good as Carr. My personal favourit is the uptempo "He's too old" by Spencer Wiggins.
While writing this review I am thinking whether or not it will be possible to find 24 tracks as good as this on any other soul label. Could be a problem for most soul labels.
The bonus that comes with this CD is the booklet. The people at Ace/Kent have as always come up with a very well documented booklet. You cannot only listen to the Goldwax Story but you can also read it.
