Soul Dog - movin' on (1976) Amherst LP Only - Rare Soul/Funk (MP3)HQ

Carl Marshall hails from Independance just outside of New Orleans and his popularity has grown rapidly the last several years. But Carl’s actually given his all to the music world for over 30 years now. He grew up in the music streets of New Orleans, Louisiana with his guitar in a band called Sam & the Soul Machine. During the 7+ years he was with them members consisted of Aaron Neville (leave vocals) Sam Henry (keyboards) Gary Brown (sax) Richard Amos (bass) Cyril Neville (congas) Robert Bush (drums).  This was His first recording on Amherst Records in 1976 LP only release. Under the name Soul Dog. In the early 90s Carl started his own label Gifft, and began issuing his own LPs of Funk, R & B, Blues, Gospel and Jazz. His first release was "This Gift" coming up next by request.  He  joined with Senator Jones’ Hep’ Me Records for one CD, “You Can’t Stop A Woman”, which spawned a regional hit with the title cut. This was followed up with a one album stint at Mardi Gras Records (“A Woman Want A Man, She Don’t Want No Punk”) in 2001.  Carl went back to cutting albums for his Gifft (and later Unleashed) label, scoring “Southern Soul” market hits. During this period Carl also served as a radio personality at the Meridian, Mississippi Clear Channel station Kiss 104.1 (also a Gospel station, WYLD, in New Orleans.) In 2005 Carl released a song called “Good Lovin’ Will Make You Cry”. At first it was ignored, then gradually over the next couple years the song began to grow as the song began to connect with an audience. By mid 2006 it was one of the hottest songs in Southern Soul music. For over two years it was one of the most loved, played and known song in the genre.  His producer credits include: Jean Knight, Guitar Slim Jr., The Love Doctor, David Brinston, Willie West, Jerry L, Rue Davis, Stan Mosley, Michelle Miller, Charles Wilson, Nellie Tiger Travis, Cicero Blake, TJ Hooker-Taylor, Captain Jack Watson, Chuck Roberson, Gregg A. Smith, Stephanie Pickett, Jim Bennett, Mister Zay, Bobbye Doll Johnson, Patrick Green and more.A very underated talent outside of the "Big Easy" Carl is well know for his stylish snazzy outfits. This is still a very rare album.

Thanks AMM for the review of this great Album. In the '70s, Carl Marshall recorded a single "I Can't Live Without You"...one of the most moving renditions I've ever heard.
