Otis Redding - The Otis Redding Dictionary of Soul (Top 500 Countdown Update)

The energy that is Live in Europe is not here in this studio recording. I think what I learned listening to this album is that I'm not a big Otis Redding fan. If he gets the right grip on a song I'm not sure anyone can do it better, but his harsh bluesy style doesn't work for me consistently on an album. I prefer the more pop R&B sound of Sam and Dave to Redding.
