A Man Needs a Woman

Carr’s second album for Goldwax is an exemplar of deep, smouldering Southern soul, a mix of uptempo R’n’B/soul grooves and tear-jerking ballads, authentic, raw and emotive, with one foot in the church and the other in the bar at 2 am. An extremely talented singer, Carr never reached his potential due to mental health problems, giving his small body of work even more poignancy. Contains his most well-known track ‘The Dark End of The Street,’ a piece of music that retains its substantial emotional punch several decades on from its recording.
