Description

No musician was closer to Otis Redding than Steve Cropper. Not only did Cropper play guitar on and help produce all of Redding's studio sessions for Stax Records between 1962 and the vocalist's untimely death in 1967, but he also was the cowriter of many of Redding's greatest songs. Working together in then-segregated Memphis, the black soul singer from Georgia and the white Missouri-born guitar picker created what writer Carol Cooper has called "an alchemical form of cultural integration beyond the ability of government to mandate." Here we have 13 of the Big O's most memorable performances - three recorded live, the rest in the studio - chosen by Cropper himself. A "bigger-than-life aura" surrounded Redding, Cropper comments in the booklet notes, and it can be felt radiating from every selection in this collection.
