Background

(this is from an article by Robert Gordon that has been in Q Magazine and the LA Times in 1992). This article has a lot more interesting background information to the making of this album and also a short interview with Carr.

"In 1990," says Claunch, "I decided to do a demonstration thing with him, see if he could still sing. Rather than spend a lot of money, I figured I'd go to a little studio down in Iuka, Mississippi. So I picked James up every Saturday morning for eight weeks. If I'd known he was going to sound that good, I would have used real musicians." "Take Me To The Limit" is not a great record; the synthesized backing tracks often make it unlistenable. But it proves that Carr still has a voice, and that, after twenty years, he can even create feeling from a lifeless keyboard program.
