This Pol's Pick is along the lines of the Philly Steak, Taking It Back (yesterday), Fauxtown volumes I have already posted. but obviously all about Stax records. Different sounding R&B from all around the same time frames. Lots of hits and all with their distinctive sound. I really love the sounds of the Mar-Keys and Booker T and the MG's. But Isaac Hayes is my guy. I watched enough Blaxploitation to really get him. Look up his story because it is very interesting. This is not the place for a wiki entry. Just suffice it to say that I liked all this stuff since I first heard any of it. Remember, it is impossible to sum up an entire record company based on just twenty or so songs. Go search for more. There is so much! BTW, I love the cover I made, butter and syrup on a stack.
