Carol Woods - Out Of The Woods LP
SKU: SOULG003
Description:
Carol Woods was born in Jamaica, New York in 1943. She was deeply
influenced by her grandfather, a Pentecostal minister, and her
mother Marion Jones, which led her to become lead singer with the
local church choir. A necessary soulful album long out of print.
Recorded in London and published on Ember (British label formed in
the early 1960s by club owner and promoter Jeffrey S. Kruger, owner
of the Flamingo Club, London) in 1971, ‘Out Of the Woods’ is still
a shiny gem on its own. The four tracks on her singles were
included and the rhythm section backing tracks for the remainder
were put down by Beau Ray Fleming (well known for his studio work
with Mandrill) in New York. Ember’s producer, Mike Berry, then
added Carol’s vocals and the horn section. Woods vocals are full
and rich and the record has a sort of post-Supremes vibe with an
obvious seventies approach. Since that time Carol has found success
in stage musicals, such as One Mo Time where she took over the role
of Big Bertha Williams, the hard drinking Vaudeville star. She has
also appeared in movies, including Eddie Murphy ‘Raw’ where she
played Eddie’s aunt.
