No other Otis compilation quite satisfies the way the old double-LP best-of does, but never mind: any way you hear Redding's many great moments is a good one. The Very Best splits ballads and up-tempo stuff half-and-half, letting you hear the great one's humanity in every mood--the pile-driving rock of "Respect," the preaching fervor of "Try a Little Tenderness," the nascent reflection of "Dock of the Bay." A record collection with no Otis is a poor thing: here's yours. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

the very best of otis redding vol 1.......2007-05-12

The material brought me back to the late sixties 1968, with memories of his death, December of that year and the coming out of the Beatles White album that same month. It has been a long time since a performer was of his ilk.

One of the greats of soul .......2007-03-21

Otis Redding was one of the greats of soul. He was taken early at the age of twenty- six in a plane crash just three days after recording the song which would be his first number one on the charts, 'Sittin on the Dock of the Bay' That tremendous song is here. It has so much both in its lyric quality and the gripping power of its music. These are its lyrics" I heard it first many years ago and it has been playing in my mind ever since.

Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco bay
'Cos I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
[...]

Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, listen

Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen
2000 miles I've roamed
Just to make this dock my home
Now I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh wee, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time

There are also other outstanding works here. Redding reportedly did not want to do 'Try a Little Tenderness' but his version is an original and strong one.
The grainy coarseness of his voice was nonetheless lyrical, catching and upbeat in its way.
This is 'Soul Music ' at its best.

CAN'T BE BEAT!!.......2007-01-10

Otis Redding is another of the "great voices" of the past!! His music is unforgettable!! And it's "superb"!! You can't go wrong with this CD...I'll bring you alot of joy & relaxation!! Try it...you'll like it - Guaranteed!!

If you like Otis, you'll love this!.......2007-01-10

So many times I see movies and love the music; only to find out it is Otis Redding. This cd has his best, and you will recognize virtually every song. I love it.

Otis at his best.......2006-11-05

I have always liked Otis Redding. When I listened to the sample tracks on Amazon, I knew that I had to have this CD. It is timeless and I can listen to it and Al Green, over and over. Buy it.

Album Description

Aretha Franklin is, quite simply, the undisputed queen of soul. as the first woman inducted into the rock 'n' roll hall of fame, aretha has, in a career spanning forty years, won virtually every award there is to win, scoring dozens of smash hits, and a truckload of Grammys and lifetime achievement awards. she has been described as having 'the most soulful female voice ever committed to disk' and as 'one of the most influential people of the last century'. Otis Redding needs no introduction. his extraordinary voice exemplified to many listeners the power of southern 'deep soul' - hoarse, gritty vocals, brassy arrangements, and an emotional way with both party tunes and aching ballads.. his death at the age of 26 was tragic because he seemed on the verge of breaking through to a wide pop audience (which he would indeed do with his posthumous #1 single, '(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay') as well as being at a point of artistic breakthrough in terms of the expression and sophistication.42-tracks in all. Warner. 2005.

His life and career cut short by a plane crash on the eve of his greatest commercial triumph ("Dock of the Bay"), Otis Redding's legacy has always seemed clouded by faulty memory, an even more suspect nostalgia, and more than a few troubling misconceptions. This 16-cut collection goes a long way toward putting Redding's talents in better focus. As the star of Stax/Volt's wide-ranging roster of talent, Redding came to epitomize the label's earthy R&B roots and bluesy Southern grit in the face of more polished efforts from Motown and Philly. Indeed, this set's disparate covers (including the Temptations' "My Girl," the Beatles' "Daytripper," and James Brown's "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag") underscore Redding's ability to strip a song to its emotional core, then rebuild it in his own relentless, sweaty image. Two of his groundbreaking duets with Carla Thomas are featured ("Knock on Wood" and "Lovey Dovey"), as well as the funk-drenched "Hard to Handle," all backed to perfection by the labels' house bands, the M.G.'s and Mar-Keys. There were others who sang the blues with more pain, crooned R&B ballads with greater polish, and infused gospel with deeper self-righteousness, but no one combined them all with the emotional fire and naked humanity of Otis Redding. Hear the man testify. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

THE HEART OF OTIS.......2002-01-24

While not as satisfying as volume 1 which collects OTIS's greatest hits,volume 2 has three great covers:DAY TRIPPER(almost unrecognizable but great fun to hear),KNOCK ON WOOD with CARLA THOMAS and PAPA'S GOT A BRAND NEW BAG the JAMES BROWN classic being a natural for OTIS.MY GIRL was hard to beat because the TEMPTATIONS's original is perfect;the same can be said about CHANGE GONNA COME that can be heard in the movie MALCOM X with the SAM COOKE version.OTIS REDDING being a legend now,has a box under his name with everything he recorded.DREAMS TO REMEMBER is an excellent anthology.Budget wise,volume 1 and 2 of this collection is a good alternative.

I bought the CD on the chance that I would be pleasantly surprised. I was not. Other than what you are already familiar with, there are few other gems here. The CD suffers from the monaural source material. Maybe try one of the Remaster CD's.
