Pete Carr albums re-released on CD

☺
Grand news, folks, cause the good people at Wounded Bird Records have re-released the two Pete Carr solo albums and his collaboration with Lenny LeBlanc. Of course that also means I have withdrawn my posts with the vinyl rips. But hey, this is better. Finally some clean copies. You can order these CD's at Amazon's site, among others...




Now I would like to ask the people at Wounded Bird to try their hand at re-releasing everything by Travis Wammack from the 1970's, including all those Fame singles that never made it onto any album. Are you listening?!

Boatz - Boatz (1979)

♫

I had lots of good reasons for wanting this. First off, it's got Pete Carr picking that guitar. Pete's early recordings include The Hour Glass (on which he played bass), but later on he became a sought after session guitarist, regularly playing for Capricorn Records. This Boatz album is a Capricorn release too. Furthermore, Pete's released a couple of smoking solo albums and made an album with Lenny LeBlanc. All of which I liked lots. So, sounds good so far. Right?
Well... If by now you were expecting a classic Southern Rock album, think again. Classic, yes. Southern Rock, hardly. Very good Southern Pop, sure.
I've read it being compared to REO Speedwagon, and I can very well live with that. So this entry gets in by connection (Pete Carr & Capricorn Records), and it sure satisfied my curiosity (didn't kill me). It's a great little record. The rip was provided to me by Nozmokinh (big thank you!), I did a little manual editing. Take a ride.
