  6. Deep Listening Day #40 — The Complete Stax-Volt Singles 1959-1968 (1991). this 9 CD box set will likely be a two day event. I bought this as a Xmas present for myself back in 91. #Stax was one of the most vital labels in the history of soul music.

  10. The fusion of cultural forms to create something new typified by #Stax and #soul #music in general is the kind of thing that actually made #America great. #Trump and #MAGA are, of course, intent on destroying the conditions that made that greatness possible.

  13. 60's era #Memphis musician Steve Cropper dies , played key roles in careers of soul singer Otis Redding, Blues Brothers band & his own band Booker T & MGs amongst many others. Lesser known Cropper roles in pop culture include producing an early John Cougar album and appearing with Jack Black & Mos Def in the oddball stoner comedy "Be Kind Rewind". I only got to see him live once with most of the original MGs in Oakland, and twas indeed awesome to witness them all playing their key early instrumental hits together. Booker T Jones is the only surviving member of that #Stax era lineup.
