As good as anybody,

This review is from: The Goldwax Years (Audio CD)
After James Carr, Spencer Wiggins was the leading light in the Goldwax stable. Able to sing blues or soul this is a superb collection. Spencer Wiggins learned his trade in gospel groups and honed his act during years on the club circuit. What we have here is the bulk of his recordings from the mid-60s with afew outtakes and unreleased gems besides. Tracks like He's Too Old and Soul City USA showcase Wiggins' ability with faster numbers but it is the slow burners that really justiy puchase.Highlights include a fine version of the oft-recorded Take Me Just As I Am and and I Never Loved A Woman but the real stunner, the song that will bristle the neck hairs is Up Tight Good Woman. The only slight drawback is that a deal to include tracks recorded at the famous Muscle Shoals studios could not be brokered but it at least leaves in hope of another issue.

Soul Provider!,

This review is from: The Goldwax Years (Audio CD)
I heard him singing "The Power of a Woman" on Sounds of the 60s a couple of weeks ago, and was blown away by the song, and his wonderful soulful delivery of it. On the strength of that, I tracked him down on You Tube, and thus bought this album.
He appears to be another great unsung "hero" of soul, but is equally at home singing gospel and blues (in fact, I understand that these days he only sings secular music). This is top notch southern soul, with strong songs and (according to the sleeve notes) many of those Muscle Shoals musicians responsible for literally dozens of superb recordings in the 60s and 70s. If you like Otis Redding, James Carr, O. V. Wright and Solomon Burke you will not fail to be moved by Spencer Wiggins.

Great Soul Music,
This review is from: The Goldwax Years (Audio CD)
If you like James Carr, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke or any other of the great soul singers you will really like this. A superb collection of Southern soul from Kent Records which on occasion sounds like B.B. King - no bad thing.
Highly recommended.
