On this episode of Memphis Musicology, we explore the history of Goldwax Records, the largely forgotten soul label that was the home to deep soul legends like James Carr, O.V. Wright, and Spencer Wiggins. We also head over to The Crate to dissect the obscure yet influential 1973 concept album “Ghetto: Misfortune’s Wealth” from the Stax Records group 24-Carat Black.
