Otis Redding : Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul (Expanded Version)




YOU WERE TIRED

AND YOU WANT TO BE FREE

MY LOVE IS 

GROWING STRONGER

AS YOU BECOME

A HABIT TO ME..



 Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul 

(often referred to simply as Otis Blue)

 is the third

 studio album 

by American

 soul singer

and songwriter

OTIS REDDING

It was first released on

 September 15, 1965,

 as an LP record 

through the

 Stax Records 

subsidiary label Volt.

Otis Blue

 is composed mainly 

of cover versions

 of contemporary

 R&B hits,

 exploring themes

 from the blues 

and love ballads,

 among others. 

Three of the LP's 

eleven songs 

were written 

by Redding, 

and three others

 were written by

 fellow soul singer

 Sam Cooke

who had died 

several months before 

the album was made.

 Except for one track,

 Otis Blue

 was recorded

 in the span of

 24 hours

 from

 July 9 to 10, 1965, 

at the Stax

 recording studio

 in Memphis, Tennessee

As with Redding's 

previous records, 

he was backed by

 the Stax house band

 Booker T. & the M.G.'s

a horn section

 featuring members of 

the Mar-Keys 

and the

 Memphis Horns

and pianist

 Isaac Hayes,

 providing a rhythmic

 Southern soul

 accompaniment
