James Carr - You Got My Mind Messed Up -Best of Early Years- (2022)

James Carr's first album, "the greatest soul album of all time", is reissued. Including 9 singles, this album is also the best of his early years. Gold Wax Records, one of the most important labels of Southern Soul. The album includes not only popular songs such as M-1, M-2, M-7, and M-12, but also singles released at that time as bonus tracks. This collection is not only a historical masterpiece, but also a "Best Of Early Years" collection. The deep voice and shouts of this album will deeply penetrate your heart, and it will be a chance for you to get lost in the labyrinth of deep Southern soul. Haruhiro Aoyama (THE FAVE RAVES), who has just released a James Carr cover album on All Days Records prior to this release, provides the commentary.
