Memphis was really jumping with black music in the early 1960s as its new studios began to attract the notice of major record companies like Atlantic Records. By 1965, Stax Records was a true Memphis powerhouse and as it became successful enough to manage its studio for its own contracted artists, it closed its doors to outside productions. But a few singers just nipped in under the wire - and these unofficial Stax productions form the major part of this collection. And here we have some perfect "Blue" Stax music from a bunch of vocalists accompanied by that fabulous Stax studio band.
