Number Four And Holding..
THE SOUL ALBUM,1966,was Redding's fourth and his third,OTIS BLUE,was a mighty tough act to follow,and yet still ,THE SOUL ALBUM, holds it's own in the very limited Otis Redding catalog,containing Redding co-written songs,JUST ONE MORE DAY,GOOD TO ME,ANY OLE WAY,the rest of the album consist of covers,Cooke's,CHAIN GANG,Pickett's,634-5789,-co-written by guitarist Steve Cropper,also including,SCRATCH MY BACK and the ballad,CIGARETTES AND COFFEE. Otis Redding never recorded a bad song or much less a bad album,capable of taking on any ol' song at hand and simply turning it golden. The remastered "SOUL ALBUM" is a good solid effort from the man,Otis Redding, be sure to collect all recordings from the genius of soul. Rhino/Atco.


Otis Redding's Recordings
Otis Blue is in stereo if you get the double CD version because one CD is stereo, the other the original MONO. The problem with all of Otis Redding's recordings is they are all in MONO, only one was recorded in STEREO.

Personally, I hate listening to anything is MONO even Otis, and I love the man's voice.


MY FAVE
Used to play them back to back, over and over. This and 'Otis Blue' were my favorites. Glad to have it on cd.


Wonderful Find
What a surprise to find it here and it was everything I thought it would be. I was unable to find this CD either online at other sites or in the local music stores. Great!!.


Good but not the best.

His covers doesn't as great as on Otis Blue album. This album may be disappointment for fans who loves albums like Otis Blue or Complete & Unbelievable: The Otis Redding Dictionary of Soul Buy Now!
Redding has credit in 3 songs, but no his best.
But in comparison with contemporary stars (Mariah Carey, Destiny's child) this is great album.
