The Queen Alone
Stax Records
By James Calemine

Carla Thomas--the great Rufus Thomas' daughter--experienced a first rate musical experience growing up in Memphis, Tennessee. The angelic Thomas was later dubbed the Queen of Soul and Stax Records' crown jewel of female vocalists.

Thomas recorded on Satellite Records before the label changed its name to Stax. Her golden voice illuminated songs like "Gee Whiz", "Let Me Be Good To You", "I Like What You're Doing to Me", and "Tramp" ( a duet with Otis Redding) made her irresistable.

Stax Records' latest re-issue of the re-mastered The Queen Alone unfolds the mysterious power of Carla Thomas' talent. Concord Music Group's recent release of this vintage album includes five bonus tracks. Two songs Thomas sang on this recording--"Something Good" (peaked at # 29 on Billboard charts) and 'I'll Always Have Faith In You" (reached #11 on the charts) sound remarkable.

Her voice acts like some elusive sedative on one's soul. Thomas made very few recordings since the zenith of Stax records. The Queen Alone stands as an essential addition to one's collection since it was recorded when Thomas' career operated at an apex....

A ugg boots clearance recent survey found that one out of five Americans teenage or older want an iPad. No wonder Apple is selling three million iPads a month. It's the fastest-selling single product in the history of consumer electronics. Most buyers are choosing an iPad as a supplement to their current computers -- for watching movies in bed, like I do, or reading books in my easy chair when there's nothing good on TV ugg boots clearance. The iPad pretty much has the personal side of computing covered. But what about the computer side? What about the tasks you do on your laptop or on your desktop computer ugg boots clearance? But I'm convinced that many of you would find the iPad a delightful replacement for a typical laptop computer, whether a Windows PC or Mac, if you mostly use a laptop for three typical functions -- e-mail, social networking (through Facebook, for example) and Web browsing ugg boots clearance. What about occasional word processing? Apple's word processor, called Pages, is outstanding on the iPad. (A bonus: It also works easily with Microsoft Word documents, both reading them and saving them.) If you need software that can show and create PowerPoint presentations, iPad software called Keynote can do that nicely. There's even an Excel-compatible program called Numbers ugg boots clearance. All three of these productivity programs -- called apps -- sell for only $10 each. Getting something equivalent to Microsoft Office for only $30 is surely a steal ugg boots clearance. There are many, either free or a couple of dollars, at the App Store ugg boots outlet. Could an iPad be your only computer? Not for long. It gets updates via free software called iTunes running on a standard computer. When you plug the iPad into the computer using a USB cable, iTunes transfers the updates to your iPad ugg boots outlet. (iTunes is also used to add music, books, podcasts, university lectures, TV shows and movies to an iPad.) But if my experience is a guide, the iPad can function well as a replacement for a laptop. If you buy one, be sure to get the Keyboard Dock and the Camera Connection Kit. Photos look spectacular on the 10-inch screen ugg boots clearance.
