SAVVY WOMAN!! CDC1012 Ms. Barbara Carr is one of the most talented and respected singers in the Soul & Blues world with a recording history that dates back to work with the legendary Chess Records. Since then she's amassed a history of hits in the Contemporary Blues & Southern Soul genres. This new set is the album fans and critics have been longing for. The real Barbara with real instruments. For the first time in a long time Barbara delivers an album that befits her voice. Produced by Clarence Dobbins and Roy Roberts, "Savvy Woman", delivers the goods like the current smash "It's Only You", already burning up on the "Carolina Beach" market. But Classic Soul in the Atlantic Records mold ("After She's Gone"), ripping 12-bar Blues ("Number Two", "How Long") to Memphis-minded Staxy Soul ("The Heart You Break", "Don't Put The Cart Before The Horse") is her bread and butter. VISIT CDS THE NEW PHILOSOPHER OF SOUL CDC1015 Artist/Writer/Producer/All-Around-Great-Person Carl Marshall is still riding high on his smash hit "Good Lovin' Will Make You Cry", the right song and message that became the biggest Soul Blues hit of the past two years! It turns out that track was just a hint of great things to come- which are now here with this powerhouse album "LOOK GOOD FOR YOU". Some are already calling it the Marvin Gaye "What's Goin' On" or Steve Wonder "Songs In The Key Of Life" of the Soul Blues world. 16 new songs from the "New Philosopher Of Soul" Carl Marshall that hit the nail on the head when it comes to relationships and common sense. Pumpin' dance jams like "Ladies, Know Your Worth", "Pull Your Pants Up" & "Looking For A Real Woman" combined with sublimely soulful ballads like "After Your Man Is Gone", "Look Good For You" and the sequel to "Good Lovin'" called "I Cried". This is the best Soul Blues album since the days of ZZ Hill. Period.
