W.C. Clark - Texas Soul (1996)



Artist: W.C. Clark
Title Of Album: Texas Soul
Year Of Release: 1996
Label: Black Top Records
Genre: Blues

Notes:
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. ~ Scott Yanow
