The understandable reaction to this release would be one of enthusiasm. After all, who would not be intrigued by the prospect of more in the vein of Otis Redding's masterly interpretation of My Girl. Sadly the Stax that one imagines is not the one on offer here. This is Stax as distribution company with much of what is on offer here recorded away from Memphis with barely a Bar-Key or an MG in sight. The result is a series of mostly seventies cuts, string laden, and lacking that taut, sparse, rhythmic sound which one would have hoped for. Hence we get Billy Eckstine's classy but hardly soulful take on My Cherie Amour and other syrupy efforts from Barbara Lewis and Margie Joseph. Mavis Staples' version of Chained is excellent and David Porter's voice is used to good effect on I Don't Know Why but fans of Deep Soul may well feel themselves short changed.
