Stax soul jag

It started this week when I picked up the new Stax 50th Anniversary Celebration 2CD box at a local discount store. I swear I can't go in for a bar of soap without perusing the ever diminishing CD selection & going home with something new. Anyway, these discs are really bringing back alot of great memories (wearing out those soul 45's w/a penney taped on the headshell).

What a great genre/era for music, huh? What are some of your soul favs? Going on next is Curtis Mayfield, self-titled then Black Moses.....

Have a safe & enjoyable holiday weekend & cheers!

Love the stuff. Stevie Wonder may be my absolute favorite but the whole genre stokes my burners. Recently picked up a 45 rpm EP of the Staple Singers' "I'll Take You There" and "Respect Yourself". Whoah!!!..chicken skin music for sure.

If you love Stax, check out the three-volume "Complete Sax/Volt Singles." It covers the beginning up to 1975, and like the title says, contains EVERY single S/V ever released. It's definitely for completists, at 28 discs total, but, man, oh the music! Pure bliss!
