For Gypsy Soul
Period point blank he conquered me from the moment he stepped through the door. Big smile [it was genuine], a welcoming hand on the arms of fans [very natural] as he strolled through...he pretty much won the atmosphere over.
Carl Thomas was in Baltimore on Tuesday to bring attention to his new project Conquer, just released on Verve, with a cd signing at Sound Garden.
I haven't ran into to many egos while encountering artists but it still continues to shock me [in the best of ways] how personable, sincere, funny, down right supa cool Carl Thomas was.
He signed cds and posters for each fan that stood in line and left his seat to take personal pictures. His chit chat wasn't forced, his smile welcomed everyone who took the time to support him. Carl Thomas truly occupied the moment.
After the signing he did an interview and interacted with us. He took the time to answer questions in depth. We talked about dogs, Roy Ayers, and his study of great musicians both widely known as well as obscure. The interaction was fantastic. He was a joy to SOULCIALIZE with fa sho!
I was stuck on Emotional [that is one perfect album] but Conquer is taking me over. Carl said that this album is about "Hero Music", he described it as being full of "winning" moments and experiences of "victory". I would have to agree and if you havent picked up the album yet its not too late to get won over!
