A new three-CD compilation filled with artists who recorded for the iconic Stax Records label was released last week called ‘Soulsville U.S.A.: A Celebration of Stax.’
It’s hard to believe but the Stax label is now 60 years old! Who recorded on the Stax label? Otis Redding, Sam and Dave, Eddie Floyd, The Staple Singers, and Isaac Hayes all used Stax to become rich and famous.
In the 70s soul artists Booker T. & the MG’s, The Dramatics, Carla Thomas, William Bell, Jean Knight and Johnny Taylor Rufus Thomas, Albert King, and The Emotions recorded their hit songs in the Memphis studios of Stax records.
In 2007 fans were able to buy the ‘Stax 50: A 50th Anniversary Celebration and now will be able to continue the Stax journey with this new release.
