“You Got My Mind Messed Up” by James Carr - album review
| features in: Album Chart of 1967 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1960s |
Just like the great Sam Cooke and Solomon Burke before him, James Carr’s gospel roots served him well for his foray into the gritty world of southern soul pop. His debut album for Quinton Claunch and Doc Russell’s Memphis-based Goldwax label, rounds up several sides from 1965-1966, including some terrific Redding-esque ballads such as “Forgetting You”, “Love Attack” and “You’ve Got My Mind Messed Up”. The album noticeably spawned “The Dark End Of The Street”, a new song which became Carr’s most popular, reaching number 10 on Billboard Magazine’s Black Singles Chart, and even crossing over to number 77 on the Pop chart. Muscle Shoals goodness abounds…
