This album was actually really good. Otis Redding only records 4 or 5 albums before his untimely death in a plane crash on the way to a gig. What I liked about the album was the addition of horns to many of the songs, that gets me almost every time. The other think was that, even though Otis only wrote 3 of the songs they were all really good. He did a great job of picking songs to cover, including one of my all time favorites "Change Gonna Come". I also had no idea that Otis wrote "Respect", the song that Aretha Franklin made hugely popular."Change Gonna Come"
