5.0 out of 5 stars
Almost as good as hearing Otis sing.,

This review is from: Sweet Soul Music: Rhythm and Blues and the Southern Dream of Freedom (Paperback)
Peter Guralnick in his book "Sweet Soul Music" takes the reader through a tour of Southern Soul and R & B when this music was the real voice of a large portion 'young America'. He differentiates 'real' Soul Music from Motown and gives excellent personal recollections of the Stax-Volt and Muscle Shoals sound. The personal interviews with people like Solomon Burke, the Stax-Volt rythm section and the backup musicians and behind the scenes people make this a must for any serious Soul Music fan

This review is from: Sweet Soul Music: Rhythm and Blues and the Southern Dream of Freedom (Paperback)
I love this book. Guralnick gets inside the amazing world of Stax and other (mostly Southern) soul music empires. It's fascinating and in the end a bit heartbreaking..
