About The Record:

Let's Burn, by Clarence Carter, is a soul and funk album that showcases the artist's transition into a more contemporary 1980s sound while retaining his signature gritty, expressive vocal style and clever, provocative lyrics. The title track Let's Burn stands out as a highlight, along with other cuts like Jimmy's Disco and the extended Scratch My Back, which reflect themes of passion, relationships, and dance-floor energy typical of Carter's storytelling approach. Fans often appreciate the album for its blend of funky grooves and Carter's humorous yet raw take on love and life. It holds interest as part of Carter's discography during a transitional period in his career, bridging his earlier Southern soul successes with later blues and adult-oriented material.
