| | Clarence Carter Snatching It Back CD Clarence Carter Discography of CDs
 (2 Customer Reviews)
In his perceptive liner notes to this excellent greatest-hits album, Dave Marsh makes the point that Clarence Carter, alone amongst the great Southern soul singers of the '60s, was the final link in a long chain of blind blues singer-guitarists stretching back to Blind Willie McTell. You can hear the justification for Marsh's observation several times here, particularly on a straight blues like "The Road of Love" (yes, that's Duane Allman's distinctive slide guitar ping-ponging from speaker to speaker) or the overtly jokey "Back Door Santa."
Carter is just as persuasive in the Memphis soul style, as exemplified by his glorious cheating anthem "Slip Away" and a cover of the Box Tops "Soul Deep." The album's most astonishing moment, however, is the four-minute rap about human sexuality that prefaces Carter's version of James Carr's "(Making Love) on the Dark End of the Street." The mixture of salacious absurdity and unbridled fervor results in performance art of the highest caliber.

Tommy Holton - Drums/BeardAdam Kahan - Bass/VocalsJosh Robins - Guitar/VocalsWillie Poland - Moog/Synth/Rhoades/Tuning Fork/VocalsRick Redman - Trumpet/Euphonium/BassAustin, Texas' Invincible Czars make good music. No, Really. Good Music. It's dynamic, original music that fuses Eastern European folk idioms with classical arrangements, heavy metal waltzes with jazz grooves in weird time signatures and country shuffles with circusy polkas. It's music that bounces off of reference points as far removed from each other as NoMeansNo and Tchaikovsky, Mr. Bungle and Oingo Boingo, Iron Maiden and Raymond Scott. The Czars also perform warped arrangements of familiar songs (Metallica, Mastodon, etc.), classical pieces and movie themes. They've impressed a wide variety of audiences throughout the southwest. The Invincible Czars gained a great deal of attention during the winter of 2004 when they premiered their modernized version of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite arranged for rock instruments. The band released its first true studio CD "Gods of Convenience" in July 2005. This recording finally closed the book on many of their earliest composition and songs and is very much a "best of" documentation of the band's 3 year existence. "Gods" also debuted 3 new tunes: pop spoof "Richman", a rock arrangement of the Klezmer khosidl "A Glezele Vayn" (which was chosen for the soundtrack of the documentary film Swordplay by Eric Power) and the title track "Gods of Convenience". A Brief History:The Invincible Czars began as a horn/guitar outfit in April of 2002 when trumpetist Rick Redman met guitarist Josh Robins. Josh had an enormous catalog of material that simply needed a band to perform it and some arranging. They began with the idea of making spooky, instrumental music and would require that all members be able to read music. Early line-ups featured pump organ and accordion which didn't exactly endear the band to Austin's Red River rock club scene. Still they persevered, mixing a wacky polka-rock style with covers of movie theme songs, jazz/latin standards and even some Van Halen. The band recorded and released various demos during this long growth period. Weekend trips to various regional destinations followed, culminating in a tour of the west in August 2004. The standing line-up played its debut show in October 2004 at the Caucus Club in Austin and surprised everyone in attendance with their ...
