This is the final instalment of the singles released on Goldwax. After the height of success represented in Volume 2, this is a more sober affair. The label reached the end of the road and eventually closed over this period as its major artists: James Carr, Spencer Wiggins and the Ovations, found themselves out of fashion and out of hits, despite no collapse in quality.

James Carr and Spencer Wiggins are represented here with some of their most impassioned recordings: Carr’s pounding ‘Freedom Train’ and Wiggins’ amazing take on ‘I Never Loved A Woman’.

Label owners Quinton Claunch and Doc Russell strove to find to broaden the label’s appeal during this time-frame. This included the launch of the country label Timmie, which saw Carmol Taylor release some incredible records. But Memphis was no Nashville and the hits didn’t follow. Other ploys included licensing to major labels such as Chess and United Artist’s Veep label, but nothing led to another artist breakthrough.

Across the two CDs is some incredible southern soul recorded in Memphis and Muscle Shoals, not just by the headline acts but by Percy Milem and Willie Walker, future stars such as Timmy Thomas and the terminally obscure Willie Morgan. These recordings represent the best work of such studios as American Recordings, Sounds Of Memphis and Rick Hall’s Fame studio.- Ace Records
