Released as part of Rhino's celebration of Stax's 60th anniversary, Stax Classics is one of many Otis Redding compilations that have been released over the years. At 12 tracks, it's not nearly as extensive as many of its companions and it certainly doesn't contain some major hits -- there's no "I Can't Turn You Loose," "Tramp," "Shake," "Hard to Handle," or "I've Got Dreams to Remember" -- but it does have the most familiar songs: "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay," "These Arms of Mine," "Try a Little Tenderness," "Respect," "I've Been Loving You Too Long," and "Satisfaction." Maybe other collections provide a more thorough understanding of Otis, but this is a solid set that won't disappoint. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
