Eddie Floyd - Stax Profiles '2006

Tracks list

As part of the Stax Profiles series, soul vocalist Eddie Floyd is spotlighted
with material recorded between 1966 and 1971 for the Memphis-based label.
Actor/comedian, Blues Brother, and super fan Dan Aykroyd, who made sure the
singer had a part in the Blues Brothers 2000 flick, selected the 13 cuts on this
compilation and did an admirable job of combining the hits Knock on Wood and Ive
Never Found a Girl (To Love Me Like You Do) with several lesser-heard gems. For
the curious, the disc offers a trimmed yet balanced overview of Eddie Floyds
time at Stax, backed up in various settings by the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section,
Con Funk Shun, the Memphis Horns, and Booker T. & the MGs, which not only makes
this a quality introduction to the vocalist but to the overall Stax sound as
well.
