Stax 50th Anniversary Celebration

Stax 50th Anniversary Celebration (2007) more music like this

by Various Artists

While it's true that this double-disc, 50-track mid-centennial anniversary celebration of the birth of Stax Records -- a label synonymous with Southern soul -- will not rival the three box sets issuing the company's complete singles, it's a killer document. Concord Records purchased the Stax catalog (which occurred when the company purchased ...

Time Is Tight [1998] (1998) more music like this

by Booker T. & the MG's

A three-CD, 65-song box set that includes all their hits from 1962 through 1971, in addition to numerous LP tracks and failed singles; the third disc is devoted entirely to previously unreleased live material (most from 1992-94) and rarities. Greatest-hits compilations will serve the needs of all but intense Booker T. and Stax fans. However, if ...

The Very Best of Booker T. & the MG's (1994) more music like this

by Booker T. & the MG's

This 16-song CD, clocking in at 46 minutes, is the second-best, and the handiest and most easily affordable, compilation available on Booker T. & the MG's. It's not remotely as comprehensive as Fantasy Records' three-CD set (although this disc does have two tracks, "Booker-Loo" and "Slum Baby," that don't appear on the triple-CD set) but is more ...

Green Onions and Other Hits (2003) more music like this

by Booker T. & the MG's

There have been few backing bands in the history of rock that were as great as Booker T. & the MG's. As the "Stax band" of the '60s, the quartet's most impressive contribution to popular music was backing some of soul music's greatest names -- Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave, etc. But Booker T. & the MG's also issued their own all ...

The Very Best of Booker T. and the MG's [Stax]

The Very Best of Booker T. and the MG's [Stax] (2007) more music like this

by Booker T. & The MG's

It's impossible to imagine Southern soul existing at all without the powerful input of Booker T. & the MG's, one of the grittiest and most precise rhythm sections in the history of pop music. The MGs were the house band for Stax Records and its imprints Volt and Chalice, and played on virtually everything the label released, backing Otis Redding, ...

Rock Instrumental Classics, Vol. 4: Soul (1994) more music like this

by Various Artists

While the material on volume four of Rhino's rock instrumentals set chronologically preceded what was on the third volume, no soul, R&B, or even soul-jazz and funk fan should mind these 18 genuine classics, including two superb numbers from Booker T. and the MGs, seminal tracks by the Mar-Keys, Bar-Kays, and Cannonball Adderley, and great Latin ...

Bird Call!: The Twin City Stomp of the Trashmen

Bird Call!: The Twin City Stomp of the Trashmen (1998) more music like this

by The Trashmen

Over half of this collector's four-CD box set is previously unissued studio, demo, rehearsal, or live recordings. Nothing is duplicated in this material originally recorded from 1961-1967. The Trashmen are an amazing summary of contradictions when looked at from afar. In pictures, even live ones, they are four clean-cut chaps in suits. Their ...

Included are live performances from the Allman Brothers Band, James Brown, Johnny Cash, George Clinton, Melissa Etheridge, Aretha Franklin, Jerry Lee Lewis, Iggy Pop, Soul Asylum, John ...

Jamaica Ska & Other Jamaican Party Anthems (2004) more music like this

by Byron Lee & the Dragonaires

This double-CD set is a godsend for anyone curious about the incredibly prolific Byron Lee and his erstwhile Dragonaires. Prior to the arrival of Jamaica Ska & Other Jamaican Party Anthems, poor Byron's catalog was littered with late-period soca and smooth reggae collections with the occasional poorly packaged live collection of older tunes ...

Stax Profiles (2006) more music like this

by Booker T. & the MG's

The Stax Profiles titles are a series of artist compilations chosen by other recording artists. Sound familiar? The Booker T. & the MG's volume was selected, and comes with liner notes, by Elvis Costello. There are 15 cuts here, assembling a cream of the crop artist's choice. Costello was one of those cats who dug back into the Motown/Stax ...

The Big Blast! (1999) more music like this

by Kombo

Perhaps people weren't complaining about the lack of creativity in instrumental music in 1987 the same as they do these days, but both then and now, a badly needed spark of originality comes from a couple of guys who -- believe it or not -- began playing together as the backing band for Barry Manilow. In the late '80s, fresh off their latest ...

Mongo Santamaria's Greatest Hits [Columbia Bonus Tracks] (1964) more music like this

by Mongo Santamaria

Some would say the title of this package is deceptive, as it only covers his mid- to late-'60s period with Columbia (and should not be confused with other Mongo Santamaria releases with similar titles covering different eras, such as Fantasy's). Furthermore, some would also say that it's not representative of Santamaria's best work, or that ...

Get Auger-nized!: The Anthology (2004) more music like this

This double-disc set is a fairly solid career retrospective representing Brian Auger's work with the Trinity, Julie Driscoll, and his own longstanding, ever-evolving Oblivion Express. Brian Auger is one of Britain's most enduring figures in both jazz and R&B. The collection is divided up by the major divisions in Auger's tenure. The first compiles ...

The Best of Booker T. & the MG's [Collectables] (2005) more music like this

by Booker T & The MG's

If there's a problem with this collection, Best of Booker T. & the MG's, it's that it's way too short. One would be hard up to quibble with the main selections here, because tracks like "Green Onions," "Hip Hug-Her," "Soul Dressing," "Chinese Checkers," and the "Green Onions" sequel "Mo' Onions" are all vintage Booker T. & the MG's sides, full of ...

This three-disc box set from Madacy Records brings together a trio of albums (Try a Little Tenderness, When a Man Loves a Woman, Baby I Love You) originally released as individual titles by Collectables Records in that label's 60s Soul series. The tracks compiled are undeniably classic ones, with most of them coming from Stax Records, including ...

The Penthouse Suite (2000) more music like this

by James Taylor Quartet

Hammond-driven British acid jazz pioneer James Taylor knows how to funk out. His Quartet's first album since 1996's critically acclaimed recording, Creation, shows that after more than a decade of aggressive music-making the band is still not over the hill. Using the B-3 organ as a weapon, this album feels like one long car-chase movie with a few ...
