Carl was born in 1939 in philadephia and this is his only album . It is a rarity in terms of both its availability and its virtues.One of the most eclectic and fully realized albums of the early Soul/Jazz/Funk era, "Investigation No. 1" embraces everything from blistering, razor-edged grooves to lithe, mellow ballads to Latin-inspired jamming with equal dexterity. Holmes is a remarkable guitarist/vocalist by any measure, with a grittier, more chaotic style than the norm,the whiplash nducing "Black Bag" is the most conventionally funky track here, but no less noteworthy is an imaginative cover of the oft-covered Bacharach/David chestnut "Close to You," which completely sidesteps boredom thanks to its soulful yet soulful groove,years ahead of its time. Highly recommended such a rare gem!
