Otis Blue: Otis Redding Sings Soul is heavy, sexy album. Otis Redding seduces us with a voice that is as smooth as silk and as rough as gravel. When the music is slow it comes with a mean groove and when it's more lively it borders on being funk.
Otis Redding does well re-imaging contemporary hits. However, I didn't really like the use of horns on Wonderful World and Satisfaction.
While the songs are super, they don't jell into a cohesive album. It's more like a greatest hits compilation. It's still worth listening to. The songs that stand out are Ole Man Trouble, Respect, Change Gonna Come, Down in the Valley, I've Been Loving You Too Long, My Girl and Rock Me Baby.
★★★★★★★★☆☆
