They moved to Memphis, TN in 1970 with the help of legendary Radio Personalities Robert W. Walker and the infamous Jim Peters, to begin their recording career with legendary producer Dan Penn of the Box Tops fame. They later signed with Ardent Records where they recorded alongside cult icon Big Star in the original National Street Ardent Studios location, as well as the new studio built on Madison Avenue in 1971.<br /><br />Keyboardist/guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Bill Phillips and guitarist/bassist/vocalist/songwriter Max Wisley formed the pop/rock quartet Rubbery Cargoe in the mid 1960s. The Tulsa based group went through various incarnations, eventually choosing drummer /vocalist/songwriter Tim Benton and lead guitarist /vocalist/songwriter Tom Richard and later changed the name to Cargoe.<br /><br />Cargoe were first-rate musicians who epitomized that funky Tulsa Sound every bit as well as Leon Russell or The Dwight Twilley Band, to name two acts with which they share musical heritage. Their peers in Tulsa went on to back artists like Eric Clapton, Delaney & Bonnie and Friends, Bob Seger, Kris Kristofferson, and Moon Martin. The legendary status of Ardent Studios in Memphis has continued to grow year-by-year, as dedicated fans of power pop cult heroes Big Star have sought out more information about the organization that originally released their albums.<br /><br />The group eventually ended up re-recording the entire album at Ardent Studios due to a technical problem with the tapes from Penn's studio, and it was finally released in early 1972. Ardent has remained to this day ahead of the curve technically, and that tip-top sound quality comes through as always on Cargoe's lone album. It doesn't matter how good a recording sounds if the songs aren't there, and Cargoe more than delivers the goods on that count.<br /><br />Even though it was released on the Anglo pop-obsessed Ardent label, this isn't a power pop album, it's really more a hybrid of Southern rock and progressive rock. However, the group's songs are very tightly constructed, and stay away from the jammy nature of many of their contemporaries. Along with "Feel Alright," there are a few more real barnburners on the album, including "Time" and "Thousand Peoples Song." But the group also created some great mellower material, including the beautiful "I Love You Anyway," which was released as their second Ardent single in late 1972.<br /><br />The story of Cargoe's records commercially is much the same as what befell Big Star. The label worked hard to promote the album, and the second single release of "Feel Alright" again gained some radio action. But the distribution problems of Stax (which handled Ardent releases) made the records hard to find for those who wanted to buy them. It's often estimated that only a few thousand of each of Big Star's albums made it out the door, and these days Cargoe's album seems to be even less common than those are. After a brief tour for the album's release, the band returned to Memphis and broke up shortly after.<br /><br />While Big Star has enjoyed a remarkable second act years after the original band's breakup, their equally worthy labelmate unfortunately hasn't been as lucky. Cargoe was available briefly as a Japanese import CD, and the only domestic re-release of their music was an excellent live CD released by producer Terry Manning's Lucky Seven label. It appears that disc, too, has already been discontinued... so track one down while you can!<br />http://www.cargoemusic.com/fr_home.cfm adamus67https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035959023698485029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379959197726431640.post-40547134751808328702014-04-25T06:07:19.033+03:002014-04-25T06:07:19.033+03:00Many thanks.Many thanks.amacauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15025322647719684963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379959197726431640.post-22403350798403670342014-04-24T19:37:35.041+03:002014-04-24T19:37:35.041+03:00Excellent as always.

The band is outstanding (especially the lead guitarist & drummer) and the multi-layered instrumentation makes it a headphone favorite (I <b> <i>love</i></b> the segue between "Feelin' Mighty Poorly" & "Thousand Peoples Song"). It really is my all-time fave (over White Album, Blonde on Blonde, etc), so I must think it's the No. 1 Power Pop album, too. A real shame they weren't able to put out a few more (dozen) records.Ice Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05308535258334127757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379959197726431640.post-19088935514750641102014-04-23T16:44:47.827+03:002014-04-23T16:44:47.827+03:00Thanks marios!
