The Soul Album

Description

The aptly titled 1966 release The Soul Album is one of the most beloved LPs in Otis Reddings catalogue, and a powerful evocation of this singular soul icons massive talent and impressive versatility. While such original tunes as Cigarettes and Coffee, Good to Me, Just One More Day and Any Ole Way demonstrate Reddings remarkable songwriting talent, his remarkable interpretive gifts are spotlighted on his deeply compelling versions as Sam Cookes Chain Gang, Smokey Robinsons Its Growing, Roy Heads Treat Her Right and the Wilson Pickett/Eddie Floyd hit 634-5789. With gritty, fluid grooves provided by the Stax studio team of Booker T. and the MGs, Isaac Hayes and the Memphis Horns, The Soul Album captures Otis Redding hitting his musical stride. This exact reproduction of this original Stax label LP is mastered from the original mono tapes and pressed on pristine High-Definition vinyl.
