Reviews:

A Good Quick Study

As the previous reviewer noted, there certainly are many anthology collections out there on Otis Redding. However, sometimes the larger the collection, the more intimidating it can be.

I indeed am very familiar with Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay and a couple of other tunes, so a small dose of Otis sounds right for this newbie. Let me tell you this music with SOUL!!!! Great passionate vocals, stinging guitar passages, and oh such funky horns.

A fine intro to Otis. Hard to go wrong here unless you want more tunes.

Slim pickings

In a world full of Otis Redding anthologies, why would anyone want to pick up this cynically meager disc? If you have a limited budget, spring for Rhino's "Very Best Of...", which has more tracks for THE SAME PRICE. There is a "Volume 2" available, as well. The real gem is Rhino's 2-CD "Dreams to Remember", if you're more than casually interested. The 4-CD box set is for disciples only. Forget Atlantic's "The Ultimate Otis Redding", which is aurally dull.
