Tracks list

	Otis Redding's third album, and his first fully realized album, presents his
talent unfettered, his direction clear, and his confidence emboldened, with
fully half the songs representing a reach that extended his musical grasp. More
than a quarter of this album is given over to Redding's versions of songs by Sam
Cooke, his idol, who had died the previous December, and all three are worth
owning and hearing. Two of them, "A Change Is Gonna Come" and "Shake," are every
bit as essential as any soul recordings ever made, and while they (and much of
this album) have reappeared on several anthologies, it's useful to hear the
songs from those sessions juxtaposed with each other, and with "Wonderful
World," which is seldom compiled elsewhere. Also featured are Redding's
spellbinding renditions of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" (a song epitomizing
the fully formed Stax/Volt sound and which Mick Jagger and Keith Richards
originally wrote in tribute to and imitation of Redding's style), "My Girl," and
"You Don't Miss Your Water." "Respect" and "I've Been Loving You Too Long," two
originals that were to loom large in his career, are here as well; the former
became vastly popular in the hands of Aretha Franklin and the latter was an
instant soul classic. Among the seldom-cited jewels here is a rendition of B.B.
King's "Rock Me Baby" that has the singer sharing the spotlight with Steve
Cropper, his playing alternately elegant and fiery, with Wayne Jackson and Gene
"Bowlegs" Miller's trumpets and Andrew Love's and Floyd Newman's saxes providing
the backing. Redding's powerful, remarkable singing throughout makes Otis Blue
gritty, rich, and achingly alive, and an essential listening experience.
