The Dock of the Bay

Amazon.com essential recording
Shortly after his breakthrough appearance at the Monterey Pop Festival, Otis Redding began talking of making a record that would be to soul music what Sgt. Pepper's was to rock. Sadly, "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" was the only song he recorded for this project before his untimely death, and so The Dock of the Bay wound up being a mixed bag of non-LP singles and previously unreleased material. Of course, Redding was such an amazing singer that even a ragtag collection of his stuff is worth checking out, and this album certainly has its fair share of high points, including "Tramp," a sassy duet with Carla Thomas; the funky "Don't Mess with Cupid"; and the unbelievably poignant "Ole Man Trouble." --Dan Epstein

A true soul legend in every sense of the word........2007-05-03

Talk about a sho nuff soulful voice. Otis Redding most definitely left his mark on the music industry before departing away from this earth. This cd is a must have for anyone who loves music.

Time Has No Power.......2005-12-31

This album had a mongrel begining. It has a thoroughbred history. A soul landmark. Don't live without it.

More than words can say.......2005-07-25

I stayed away from this CD for years simply because 'Dock of the Bay' was so overexposed. Recently, I gave this one a chance and it exceeded my expectations. I still think 'Immortal Otis' is the essential Otis Redding album. However, this one will blow you away too. He just has a way of owning a song and making it completely his. Otis has covered a few songs and they all take on new meaning, like 'Respect.'- just totally Otis. People have tried to take on Otis, as cover material, but his style is simply too unique, too much soul for any mere mortal.

A little respect.......2000-05-12

Released shortly after his death, this album was the first of several posthumous Otis Redding releases. The fabulous title track reached number one on both the pop and R&B charts, introducing Otis' talent and emotive energy to a much wider (and whiter) audience. Inspired by the Beatles' adventurous songwriting, and his positive experience at the Monterey Pop Festival, he wrote "The Dock of the Bay" while relaxing in Sausalito. He recorded it on December 7, 1967, three days before the airplane crash that would take his life and four members of his touring band, The Bar-Kays. The song was unlike anything he had released thus far, and showed the promising artistic direction he was headed in. Guitarist, co-writer, and friend Steve Cropper compiled this tribute album around it, gathering together some of his past singles, along with the unreleased ballad "Open The Door." There are plenty of great songs, such as the magnificent "Let Me Come On Home," "Don't Mess With Cupid," and his classic duet with Carla Thomas, "Tramp." The funky "Huckle-Buck" is from the Stax "Stay In School" record, and two fine cuts from earlier albums close out the set. As always, the backing musicians on all of the tracks are the fantastic Stax players of Booker T. & The MG's and the Mar-Keys. This disc is a testament to Otis Redding's mastery of his craft, and makes for a decent primer on his sound. It was soon followed by "The Immortal Otis Redding," an excellent collection of unreleased studio recordings.

Essential Otis.......2000-01-30

I listen to this album every day and think what a tradgedy it is that Otis Redding died before his time. The music that this man was starting to create is the epitomy of soul and I am moved nearly to tears listenting to Otis belt out such tunes as 'Ole Man Trouble', 'Let Me Come Home', and 'The Glory of Love' and in the next moment smiling and laughing along with Otis on the tunes 'Tramp' and 'The Huckle-Buck'. I am a fan of all generes of music and this is the one album I would reccomend to anyone, no matter what kind of music they prefer. Listen to 'Dock of the Bay' I gurantee you will fall in love with Otis Redding.

There is nothing like being anchored of the coast of maine listening to some of the oldies with a new twist. I have three of these CDs and this is my favorite.

It's like being in the Caribbean.......2006-07-28

We listen to this CD while we are swimming in the pool or just hanging out with neighbors on our deck. It is great background music and makes you feel like you are on vacation. We bought 3 of these CDs and love them all.

Dock Of The Bay / Definitive Collection (IMPORT) ~ Otis Redding.......2005-06-28

Otis Redding was and is still a major force when it comes to soul music. His vocals are tremendous and one can not listen to this album without thinking what could have been if he had not tragically died 1967. The vocals were and are some of the best in the business and his lyrics are well written and have meaning without sounding trite. (sittin' on) the dock of the bay is his signature song but there are many other tracks that are on the same level, like mr pitiful, hard to handle and many others. The book-let for this definite collection is well done and the font selected is right on the mark and the photo on the cover is well done and shows a contemplative young otis redding. The story in the book-let is amazing and one starts to think what could have been if he had lived even today as he would just have turned a bit over 60.
