This album is essentially a collection of the "
Memphis" & "
Pride" singles which followed Ollie's departure from Stax...The singles and LP were marketed thru MGM and produced by the Butler's (Jerry and Billy) and Gene 'Bowlegs' Miller, who was directly in charge of the sessions. This is all very high level Southern Soul from a time when that genre was both at it's peak and on the verge of it's decline. Despite having been recorded separately over around a 3 year span, these songs actually hold together pretty well as an album too.
Simply a MUST HAVE!
