For those who "know" me... I do have some odd or eclectic tastes in music.
(I had a crush on Mavis Staples as a kid...go figure).
This is a fascinating article about Stax records (there was also a movie) and their inception as well as all of the artists that most don't know anything about, yet were incredibly talented.
You will recognize a lot of the names (Otis Redding, Booker T, etc) and seeing Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn before they grew all that hair was purdy kewl.
This lady has uncovered a treasure trove of demos and outtakes from back in the day (early to late-sixties) of the Memphis sound through Stax.
Worth the read..
