Carla Thomas "Gee Whiz" Album Review
Can a real Carla Thomas stand up please?
Carla Thomas was essentially a balad singer in heart who started with "Gee Whiz" and "Mama,Mama Wish Me Good Luck",just to be pushed in more commercial vein of "Stax" sound,the role of sexy seductive soul-godess that never suited her and lady herself (in liner notes) noted that 1966. was the moment when her music became more hit-heavy but strangely detached from her real personality.As the result,this 22 songs-compilation is almost a schizoprenic split of personality between early,young and romantic Thomas and later horn-bass-rhytm drenched "Stax" product,hit material that perhaps showed more of Thomas acting ability than her real vision of herself as a singer."Stax" was excellent company that produced exciting and energetic music,but it was a man's world (Sam & Dave,Otis Redding,Isaac Hayes...) and Thomas sweet voice & gentle personality would have much better suited to Dionne Warwick/Diana Ross/Mary Wells style - I have impression that while she gave "Stax" its first big kick with "Gee Whiz",the company slowly but surely pushed her in the back while changing music direction towards rhytmic numbers and her "Gee Whiz" was more of a past relic than something the company wanted to pursue.True,the second part of this CD compilation is recognisable "Stax" music but I can't shake the feeling that Carla Thomas was not there completely and she had just listen Isaac Hayes instructions.

Stevie Wonder "Motown Legends I was Made to Love Her" Album Review
His Best '60's Album
It's true. Not all the tracks are original songs, but enough of them are and I'd say about six are really, really good. I've known them all my life and I love them. Just great mid-'sixties Stevie that you haven't heard anywhere else before, not even on compilation albums.
I also love his renditions of 'Respect' and 'Can I Get A Witness', they both have a grooviness and originality of their own.
If you really like Stevie's mid-'60s sound, don't hesitate tracking this album down.
It's a real finger clicker.
'Everytime I See You I Go Wild' is wild and fabulous!
'I'd Cry' is divine. There's a wonderful irony to the way he sang sad songs in a fast uptempo way.
'Everybody Needs Somebody' has a wonderful, melodic, understated soulfulness.
Actually, the only song I've grown tired of is the title track and yes, there are a few fillers/duds that you'll want to skip, but the good far outweighs the bad.
He was very proud of this compilation when it came out and he was right to be.

Alexis P. Suter "Shuga Fix" Album Review
A Shining Star
The English language does not have enough words to describe this incredible talent!! If you purchase this CD you will NOT be disappointed. One word that does describe Alexis is "Powerful".
I had the privilege of seeing her perform last year in Woodstock at Levon Helm's Midnight Ramble and was blown away by her and her Brooklyn based band (The Bennett Brothers). This CD moves you through a myriad of emotions and is well presented by recording engineer and producer Vicki Bell, who co-writes many of the selections and appears in the line up of back up singers as well. The musicianship is superb, and along with some very tasty engineer techniques makes this a must for your music library. As Alexis say's "There is something for everyone here", from the very soulful blues of "Never", the fast moving "Ride-Ride" and the pop sounding "More To This" (one of my favorites!), and don't miss "Da Hood". It is hard to categorize Alexis and this CD into a specific style of music, you will just have to listen and judge for yourself. You will come away smiling and feeling very satisfied.
