The '60s Rock Experience

Search: Try a Little Tenderness - Otis Redding
by: Various Artists

Release Date March 22, 2005
This CD digs pretty deep and doesn't just repeat what's on (and on and on and on!) classic rock radio stations. Good variety, good sound quality.

Musical Retrospective on 40 Years of Dance

Search: Try a Little Tenderness - Otis Redding
by: Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater

Release Date June 15, 1999
There's a reason that music can lift your soul - and if you've been moved by anything "ailey", then you've got to hear this to believe it. It sounds better than it sounded in the theatre when the Ailey Company danced to it, and it sounded great even then! The quality of the sound, the engineering, the passion of the voices on nearly every tune will give you goosebumps. Wade In The Water is a highlight, as is Donny Hathaway's "Song For You". As a bonus - there are comments from Judith Jamison, and some very passionate thoughts she does give you about Mr. Ailey himself. She explains "Revelations" from the perspective of herself as an audience member, and dancer. I can't say enough about it.

Stax Gold

Search: Try a Little Tenderness - Otis Redding
by: Various Artists

Release Date November 08, 1998
All it takes is one listen to this album to realize how much the "do me" rubbish that passes for R&B today sucks. Here you have some of the finest soul tracks of all time, as well as some of the lesser known ones. The Staple Singers' "Respect Yourself" sounds as raw today as ever, and Issac Hayes' classic "Shaft" shows how to get real funky. Buy this album if you are still a soul novice, or if you just want all these great tracks in one place. But whatever you do, BUY IT!

My Blueberry Nights

Search: Try a Little Tenderness - Otis Redding
by: Original Soundtrack

Release Date April 01, 2008
"My Blueberry Nights" is a strong soundtrack collection. Norah Jones who stars in the film wrote the song "The Story" on set, which was included in the film. She sings, "I don't know how to begin because the story has been told before; I will sing along, I suppose it's just how it goes." Director Kar Wai explains in the liner notes that he went to music stores and bought CDs that were played on the stereo on cross country trips which scouted locations for the film. He loved Cat Power's CD The Greatest and included that title track and "Living Proof" from the CD on the soundtrack. Cassandra Wilson's recording of Neil Young's "Harvest Moon" was another track that he put together with a slide show from the road trips to help Norah Young get ... Read More:

The Complete Stax-Volt Singles 1959-1968

Search: Try a Little Tenderness - Otis Redding
by: Various Artists

Release Date January 13, 2008
More than 30 years after Stax-Volt last published, at last I have my hands on all three volumes of 'The Complete...'. The individual volumes have some great music, not all of which found its way around the world. Hearing great music for the first time long after the label's demise is a mixture of elation tinged with regret. Yet the breadth of the three volumes is astonishing and encompasses a range of talent, unique yet all related through the label (of course) and mostly through the session/backing musicians. If you can, buy all three volumes of this amazing collection and then turn the music up. And see how quickly your smile turns to a broad and happy grin. Enjoy.
