| | Carla Thomas Carla CD Carla Thomas Discography of CDs
Paired with Stax writing whiz-kids Isaac Hayes and David Porter, Thomas had her greatest chart run, beginning with the hit "B-A-B-Y" and continuing with "Let Me Be Good to You." Both of those appear here, alongside evocative slabs of country-soul in covers of Hank Williams's "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" and Patsy Cline's "I Fall to Pieces." For good measure, Thomas also tries her hand at the blues with covers of Howlin' Wolf's "Little Red Rooster" and Jimmy Reed's "Baby What You Want Me to Do?" ~ Rob Bowman
Personnel: Carla Thomas (vocals).
Recording information: Memphis, TN.

Purchase Carla CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Carla album
 $6.39  
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," but this minor faux pas is redeemed by the Irish folk medley "Joy of Life/Trout in the Bath" which arguably features more full-on Irishness than the Dublin production of RIVERDANCE. There's also a lovely rendition of Neil Young's "Only Love Can ...
| | Johnny Otis 1945-1947 CD (2002)
Carla CD music
$18.05 
Growing up among Afro-Americans in Berkeley, CA, Greek-American Johnny Otis (born John Veliotes) always identified strongly with people of color. Before he had attained the age of 20 he was gigging with black jazz bands throughout the Southwest, and eventually organized an ensemble deliberately patterned after Count Basie's orchestra. This highly charged album of historical musical artifacts documents the very beginning of Johnny Otis' recording career. With one apparently unobtainable exception, the Classics Blues & Rhythm Series has assembled all of Otis' Excelsior recordings, made in Los Angeles between 1945 and 1947. This provides background and context for his more well-known Savoy material, and indeed for everything this amazing person accomplished during the second half of the 20th century. Otis' first act as a recording bandleader was to borrow Jimmy Rushing from Count Basie! Rushing sounds right at home with this group, which included tenor saxophonist Paul Quinichette, pianist Bill Doggett, and bassist Curtis Counce. During "Preston's Love Mansion," as Doggett quotes the famous riff from Dizzy Gillespie's "Salt Peanuts," the band hollers "Johnny Otis!" instead. And well they might, for during this exciting number and indeed most of the performances throughout this collection, Otis handles his drums with energetic ...
| | Drive-By Truckers Southern Rock Opera CDs (2001) Digipak
Carla music CDs
$11.99  
A sprawling two-disc set, the Drive-By Truckers' SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA is a cracked masterpiece that's enjoyable on several different levels. Hipsters might enjoy the giggly premise of a two-disc set devoted to a slightly altered retelling of the rise and fall of 1970s Southern rock icons Lynyrd Skynyrd. Progressive rock fans lamenting the modern era's relative lack of story-driven albums divided into "Act I" and "Act II" will latch onto SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA with the same passion with which they embraced THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY. And most importantly, unreconstructed Southern rockers of the boogie-and-beer variety will appreciate the fact that this is an unapologetic, non-ironic valentine to the sound of not only Skynyrd, but the Allman Brothers, the Marshall Tucker Band, and the modern-day ...
| | Philly Steps: Phila-La Of Soul & Arctic Records Remixed Hits CD (2004)
Carla songs
$12.89 
Jamie/Guyden Dist. Co. celebrates its 50th anniversary by celebrating the artists and musicians of its past with contemporary remixes by Paul Simpson and Tom Moulton of the labels' classic hits like "Yes, I'm Ready" by Barbara Mason and "Waitin for the Rain" by the Fantastic Johnny C. Paul Simpson, whose remix of Marvin Gaye’s "Lets Get It On" Slate Magazine considered better than the original, has used the original multi-track tapes to provide new takes on such hits as, "Yes, I’m Ready" by Barbara Mason; "I Likes To Do It" by the People’s Choice; and "Love is All Right" and "The Horse" by Cliff Nobles. Tom Moulton adds his magic touch to "Waitin for the Rain" and "Yes, I'm Ready." The album also celebrates the great session musicians of Philadelphia - Ronnie Baker on bass, Norman Harris on guitar and Earl Young on drums, the musicians who became MFSB and the backbone of the Philadelphia sound of the 1970s.Tom Moulton ...
| | Alexis Korner Kornerstoned: Anthology 1958-1983 CD (2006) (Import) United Kingdom
Carla album
$24.79
While MUSICALLY RICH...AND FAMOUS documents the second half of British blues godfather Alexis Korner's career, KORNERSTONED adopts a more comprehensive approach, following the pioneering singer/guitarist from the very beginning of his musical life, all the way through every subsequent phase of his development. So we get not only his mid-1960s work with burgeoning blues-rock giants like Paul Rodgers and Steve Marriott, but also his `50s skiffle recordings (basically the British version of jug-band music) with the Ken Colyer band and his own skiffle group, and even an early acoustic guitar duel with famed fingerpicker Davey Graham on "3/4 A.D." Over ...
| | Dredg Catch Without Arms CD (2005)
Carla CD music
$8.49
Early on, critics often described Dredg as a metal group. However, the quartet has since matured into a hard-edged indie-rock ensemble that seeks diversity and refinement in its music. On CATCH WITHOUT ARMS, the band favors highly orchestrated parts, dense guitar riffs, and powerful drumming. Each song is based around memorable vocal hooks and sensitive lyrical content.
Many tracks on CATCH WITHOUT ARMS have a searching ...

| | Campbell Brothers Sacred Steel On Tour! CD (2001)
Carla songs
$13.59
The Campbell Brothers can play up a storm, there's no doubt about that. It makes no difference whether they're in church or in a club, the place becomes sanctified by their gospel offering -- which musically is heavily tinged with rock, blues, and more than a smidgen of soul. While their studio album excited, they need the free rein of live performance to really let go and, from the start of "Thank Ya'," this is a full-tilt show. Well, it's more than that -- it's a service, with Rev. William Scott testifying and the gospel singing of Katie Jackson and others, led by the stinging and virtuosic steel playing of Chuck and Darick Campbell, with brother Phillip contributing some stinging lead playing. Whether moving through a slow song like "I'll Fly Away" or letting it all go during "A Prayer Meeting at Mary's House," they read each other as only siblings can. About the only odd piece out is a cover of "Put a Little Love in Your Heart," which never quite achieves liftoff. But when they do reach critical mass, the stratosphere's the limit, and you'll hear steel playing like no one else can manage, working off each other, pushing it further and further, like the very best jam band. They temper themselves toward the end, in tracks recorded at religious functions, but the intensity is every bit as high. If you don't want to go to church but still need a helping of the spirit, it's like having a revival in your living room. ~ Chris Nickson
Personnel: Chuck Campbell, Katie Jackson, Rick Fowler (vocals); Darick Campbell (guitar, lap steel guitar); Phillip Campbell (guitar, midi guitar, drums).
