Product Details

Otis Redding recorded for Stax's Volt imprint out of Memphis between 1962 and his death in December 1967, and in that brief window he redefined what emotional directness in American music could sound like. Where other singers performed heartbreak, Redding inhabited it, a quality that made him a touchstone for everyone from Janis Joplin to the generations of soul and rock vocalists who followed. This collection gathers that raw vulnerability into a single sitting.

Lonely & Blue: The Deepest Soul of Otis Redding contains the hits (I ve Been Loving You Too Long, These Arms of Mine, My Lover s Prayer, Free Me) alongside many lesser-known songs (Gone Again, Open the Door, Waste of Time, Everybody Makes a Mistake, to name a few). They re all included in this brand new compilation because they share the tangled theme of sorrow.
