John Eckman<p><strong>Otis Redding, The Dock Of The Bay, 1968 on Volt.</strong></p><p>This was the first posthumous release after Redding died in 1967, and his seventh studio album. It collected some singles, b-sides, and previously released tracks, including the title track “(Sittin’ On) The Doc of the Bay” which was cowritten by Steve Cropper and Redding. Also has a great version of “Nobody Knows You (When You’re Down And Out.” </p><p>The band here includes Booker T. Jones, Isaac Hayes, Steve Cropper, Donald “Duck” Dunn, and Al Jackson Jr. Carla Thomas joins on “Tramp.” </p><p>My copy is a 1968 pressing via Electric Fetus in Minneapolis MN – it’s in great shape. </p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/1960s" target="_blank">#1960s</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/1968" target="_blank">#1968</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/al-jackson-jr" target="_blank">#AlJacksonJr</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/booker-t-jones" target="_blank">#BookerTJones</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/carla-thomas" target="_blank">#CarlaThomas</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/donald-dunn" target="_blank">#DonaldDunn</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/electric-fetus" target="_blank">#ElectricFetus</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/isaac-hayes" target="_blank">#isaacHayes</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/minneapolis-mn" target="_blank">#MinneapolisMN</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/otis-redding" target="_blank">#OtisRedding</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/soul" target="_blank">#Soul</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/steve-cropper" target="_blank">#SteveCropper</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/vinyl" target="_blank">#vinyl</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/vinylcollection" target="_blank">#vinylcollection</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/vinylfinds" target="_blank">#vinylfinds</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/volt" target="_blank">#Volt</a></p>
