Free Music Notes for Snatching It Back
Free Music Review: Southern soul at its best...
Hit: 5 Stars
Clarence Carter's work as documented in this collection is nothing short of amazing. His work stands in the area where the blues and soul music meet, and the results will definitely grab you. His voice is so soulful and expressive and really put it across like the old bluesmen were capable of doing. This compilation is the best of his work from 1965-1970 and has too many great songs to mention. If you are a fan of the Allman Brothers Band or Duane Allman, this disc does feature three songs on which Duane Allman is credited as a session musician. The slide guitar solo he plays on "The Road Of Love" sounds as if he will literally tear the roof off the studio and gives me chills every time I hear it. Also worth noting is the two songs on this collection that were also covered by Etta James: "I'd Rather Go Blind" and "Tell Daddy", which was released as "Tell Mama" by Etta James. Overall, this is a really strong collection and while Clarence Carter may not get props like some of the other great soul men do, he should. This collection is the proof.
Snatching It Back Poster
Journeyman Clarence Carter is seldom cited among the solid circle of soul men who--like Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, and Solomon Burke--are considered the architects of the rhythm & blues of the '60s. Nevertheless, as witnessed by this 21-track set, Carter did more than his share to forward the art of testifyin' musical truth-tellin'. Here Carter emerges as a tried-and-tested Southern soul brother who had crafted his own, distinctive vocal style. Known for a hearty laugh that he often dropped into tunes like the 1968 hit "Looking for a Fox" and the riotous "Back Door Santa," he routinely addressed the theme of infidelity that provided the backdrop to singles like "Slip Away" and this disc's title track. These cuts were all made at the famed Muscle Shoals studio in Carter's native Alabama, using many of the same musicians who graced hit records by Aretha Franklin and other legends in the late '60s. While he could turn a weeper like "Patches" (originally recorded by Detroit's Chairmen of the Board) into a major pop and R&B hit in 1970, Carter's real talent as a storyteller is clearly evident on his reworking of the Etta James classic "I'd Rather Go Blind" and the standout reading of James Carr's "Making Love (At the Dark End of the Street)" complete with typical Carter rap. --David NathanBlues Music CDs
