This year’s calendar has almost run its
course. I hope you have enjoyed what’s been behind the doors.
Door #4’s offering prompted me to dig out
Carol Grimes’ 1975 album that featured her version of Uphill Peace Of Mind. It’s easy for the majesty of that track to
overshadow the rest of the album, but there are in fact a number of other strong
tracks. Recorded in Nashville and Memphis it is essentially a soul album.
Bettye Crutcher and Frederick Knight appear in the writing credits of many of
the songs, and Lewisham lass Carol is joined on the album by, among others, The
Memphis Horns and Duck Dunn.
At the risk of topping out my monthly bandwidth
quota I’m only posting one track, although I would have liked to have posted more to give a better flavour of the album. In
the end, as it is a time to be merry, I have plumped for the bit of fun that is Dynamite, co-written by Duck Dunn who is also playing the bass
guitar on the track.
