Format:Audio CD
After the success of the previous two posthumous releases, "Dock of the Bay" and "The Immortal Otis Redding," Steve Cropper put out another collection of unreleased studio material. This enjoyable disc features a dozen tracks culled from the vast amount of recordings Otis made prior to his untimely death in December of 1967. These songs were all from sessions done in his last year, with the usual accompaniment of Booker T. & the MG's and the Mar-Keys. For a compilation of leftovers, there are a number of gems to be found. "I'm A Changed Man," "That's A Good Idea," "Groovin' Time" and the title track are classic Redding, and the fantastic "Direct Me" features some great guitar work by Cropper. Only three covers are included: a spirited version of "(Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher and Higher," Brook Benton's "A Lover's Question," and the rollicking "Look At That Girl" with some nice female backing vocals. It may not be essential, but this album did produce a couple of Top 20 R&B hits ("Love Man" and "A Lover's Question") and it captures Otis during his most productive period. Once you have his key records, pick this one up. It's definitely worth a listen.

The best soul singer ever! This man has made some sublime recording, this album is a bit patchy, but, having said that, it is a masterpiece compared many by other artists. But, if you don't already own it buy 'Otis Blue' first. Otis Blue: Otis Redding Sings Soul.

raw and dirty and awesome.

Format:Audio CD
This album is simply amazing, a raw, dirty, soulful explosion of incredible gritty old school soul. Do yourself a favor and pick this up, you simply can't go wrong for the price. Long live Otis, the king of real soul and his unrealized gorgeous album LOVE MAN!!!

The Best
4 Jun 2004
Format:Audio CD
This is undoubtedly, hands down, the best Otis Redding Album ever released. Eventhough it is one of the posthumous releases it contains Otis' greatest accomplishments as a performer and a songwriter(a facet of his genius which is, unfortunately, not as recognized as it should be). Alot of people say that "Otis Blue" is his best album and it is undeniably amazing. All of his recordings, live and studio, are mindblowing. But contrary to what the reviewer below asserts this is not an album to get after you've heard the "key" ones. Get this now and here Otis at his best.
