Carla Russell & The Muscle Shoals Allstars The Good Side of Crazy (Crazy Chester) Carla Russell & The


Muscle Shoals All- stars deliver a soul


explosion with The Good Side of Crazy. Carla is a show-stopper if ever there was one. Her band Kozmic Mama is nothing short of a Huntsville, Alabama legend. Here, she puts her powerhouse vocals behind a great set of covers written by A-listers like Spooner Old- ham, Dan Penn, Tony Joe White, Donnie Fritts, Scott Boyer, Eddie Hinton, and to name a few. Produced by the label’s main man An-


dreas Werner, the backing musicians are in- deed “Muscle Shoals Allstars,” with Swampers like Jimmy Johnson, and David Hood along with legendary players Mickey Buckins, Clayton Ivey, Will McFarlane, N.C. Thurman, Harvey Thompson, Jr, Kelvin Holly, Lynn Williams, Kevin McKendree and more. The Muscle Shoals Horns bring the soul big time like always. And as if those weren’t enough, Carla brings in the one and only Jimmy Hall to sing and blow harp on “Every Train,” and Tony Joe White plays harp a song he penned, “Love in My Heart.” Listen up, sports fans, this record has


more soul that a Shaquille O’Neil basketball shoe. Sweet, sweet soul music with funk, grit and everything the doctor ordered.

Too Slim and the Taildraggers High Desert Heat (Vizztone) High Desert Heat,


the latest release from Too Slim and the Tail-


draggers soars off the launchpad with a blaz- ing psychedelic cover of the Chambers Broth- ers’ classic “Time Has Come Today”. It’s magnificent to say the least. Too Slim then proceeds to tear through nine ripping guitar- infused tracks of original blues-rock. With Tim Langford aka “Too Slim” on guitar and lead vocals, the Taildraggers consists of Jeff “Shakey” Fowlkes on drums, Zach Kasik on bass guitar and special guest Sheldon “Bent Reed” Ziro on harmonica. With Ziro supplying a hearty accompa-


niment on harp, Langford dispenses a big tasty dose of blues guitar on “Trouble”. I love the groove Fowlkes and Kasik keep afloat. They never leave the pocket. Too Slim sings about hitting bottom in “Broken White Line”, a badass song with an opening riff sweetly reminiscent of Steppenwolf’s “Pusherman”. It captures my attention im- mediately. Communication breakdown is what “Stories to Tell” is all about. This infec- tious rocker lures me in with its funky, sear- ing riff, and keeps me hooked with Langford’s delightful guitar licks. Too Slim and the Taildraggers close the album out with the title track “High Desert Heat”, a spaghetti western style instrumental with ominous overtones and exquisite slide guitar. Too Slim absolutely nails it with High


Desert Heat. It’s a fantastic album. -Phillip Smith
