Ooh Carlas!: Carla Thomas and Carla Morrison

   I'm not quite sure how I came up with the idea to pair Carla Thomas and Carla Morrison.  I'd been listening to the 1960s Stax box set a lot - in particular, Carla Thomas - and may have just been scrolling through Itunes artists when the idea came to me.  At any rate, they're both gifted and underappreciated singers and I think they sound quite good together.  Hope folks enjoy it. (Btw, Carla Thomas, after a really long absence from performing, sings background on a cut from Valerie June's 2021 release "The Moon and Stars: Prescriptions for Dreamers.)
