W.C. CLARK - Texas Soul 1995 (REPOST)


W.C. CLARK - Texas Soul 1995
(With Double Trouble)
Label: Blacktop

Blues

1997 W.C. Handy Award Winner! "Best Blues Soul Album of The Year"

Although W.C. Clark does perform a few blues, this CD is essentially an R&B/soul session which puts the emphasis on Clark's calm but emotional vocals (some of the lyrics are somewhat philosophical) and stinging guitar. The five-piece Kamikaze Horns are restricted to ensemble fills and riffs. Even if a certain predictability pervades the set, Clark (who in spots reminds one slightly of both Ray Charles and B.B. King) is a skilled perfomer in the idiom, making this a date recommended to fans of the Stax sound of the 1960s.
