The two disc set is an excellent collection of that is heavily influenced by black players of the 20's and 30's but is not just an imitation of them. It traces the growth of white blues, one of the strains of music that that was formative for virtuoso country guitar pickers from Jerry Reed and Glen Campbell to Ricky Scaggs and Vince Gill. Blues surely began as an African American art form, but white southerners have had an influence too. James Burton! Duane Allman! Stevie Ray Vaughan! Check out their drunken uncles. (Allmusic)

Otis Redding - Live At The Whisky A Go Go; The Complete Recordings 1966
In chronological order, this six-CD collection presents the entirety of Otis Redding's performances over three nights at the famed Whisky A Go Go, on LA's Sunset Strip. The seven sets, recorded Friday, April 8th, through Sunday, April 10th, feature the singer's popular songs of the time, including 'Respect,''I've Been Loving You Too Long' and his cover of The Rolling Stones' '(I Can t Get No) Satisfaction.' Several of these recordings -all remixed and remastered from the original analog tapes- will be released for the very first time. (Soul Digger)
Complete 1966 LA crossover breakthrough gig for southern soul singer supreme Otis Redding!
"Complete" is defintely is the operative word here, as this magnificent box set obviously has Otis Redding completists (such as myself) in mind here. Absolutely nothing is left out (even a rare flub that led to an instant do-over, as Otis didn't want less than the best represented on tape) from the seven sets that occurred on three consecutive nights in April, 1966. It's all presented chronologically, sounds great, and is supplemented by a fine booklet with photos and informative, well-scribed liner notes. (The Soul Detective)
The complete document of a legendary live recording by Otis Redding – material that not only shows a slightly different side of Redding than his studio albums for Stax – but which also continued to flow out in parts, issued after his too-early death, as a way of keeping his music alive! During the 60s, as Otis recorded his classics for Stax, he was also spending an insane amount of time performing live – hitting the road constantly, as live performance was the way he could really make a living – to a point where his presence on the stage was incredible, and Redding had blossomed into a hell of an entertainer, instead of just a simple singer of songs! The power of that level of performance really comes through here – material that comes from three nights of live performance in Los Angeles, with a huge amount of work appearing here for the first time ever, especially in correct order and format. Over the course of the whopping 6CDs in the set, Otis moves through familiar numbers, some key covers, and a few surprising tracks – and a number of selections are even longer than usual. Redding seems to especially take off on his covers – turning in extended versions of cuts like "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag" and "Satisfaction" – but the whole thing is great. 65 tracks in all, with great notes and a poster too! © 1996-2016, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Sun Ra - The Singles (1954-1982)
Strut offers a richly researched and smartly sequenced compilation of all of Sun Ra's singles, offering a compelling and unique look at the cosmic jazz innovator’s genius.
Sun Ra maintained a big band from 1955 until his death in 1993, even though he was even further out on the fringe of the music industry than Charles Mingus, who only held onto smaller groups. Sun Ra consistently maintained he came from another planet-and his taste in clothes and harmonies lent some credence to the claim-but he also felt he could connect with a broad terrestrial audience, which is why he continually released singles on his Saturn label. Some of these singles were his trademark space-jazz, but most of them were more down-to-earth-doo-wop, blues, R&B vocals, swing standards, novelty songs and big-band dance numbers. Yet they all had the Sun Ra touch, which made them weird and worldly all at once. --Geoffrey Himes
Back in the mid-'50s, bandleader Sun Ra decided to get his music to his audience through a more direct process by starting his own label, Saturn Records. Equal parts creative futuristic vision and small-time Southern R&B bandstand hustle, these 45s were pressed in unbelievably small quantities (sometimes in runs of only 50 copies), making them the holy grail of Sun Ra collectibles. The collection of singles runs a neat 30-year time-frame and features everything from Sun Ra with an embryonic form of his Arkestra doing backup duties behind doo-wop groups and R&B slopbucket singers like 'Space Age Vocalist' Yochannon to wild-ass sonic experiements from the late '70s into the early '80s that would have atmospherically fit on any of his avant-garde albums. Pieced together for this release from the contributions of private collectors around the world -- and sonically cleaned up far beyond the audio capabilities of the original vinyl they were pressed on -- these 49 three-minute opuses will alternately confuse, astound, confound, delight, and illuminate Sun Ra fans of all stratas of involvement. A major piece of puzzle that is the man, now in place. (Cub Koda, Allmusic)
This is a treasure-trove of some of the most unexpected and fascinating music from Sun Ra. As a lot of the descriptions point out, this is mostly R&B style pop music - it was all literally made as 45' singles, meant for juke-box play. The surprising part, of course, is that one of the great avant-garde jazz musicians would make these records, but on reflection it's really not so strange. The avant-garde in jazz, with Sun Ra and the Art Ensemble as great examples, have always had their roots deep in blues, R&B and other African-American pop music, not necessarily out of necessity but out of love. Just listen to the blues in Ornette Coleman's playing, or read Lester Bowie's stories about playing in funk bands. Even Coltrane paid his dues by 'walkin' the bar' in R&B bands.
Unlike other comments, I think this music is perfect for a Sun Ra fan, as I am, because as a true lover of his music, you have to let the man do what he wants and not pigeon-hole your own listening with your expectations. Expect that unexpected with this set, which is by turns charming, funny and bizarre, but always true and sincere. A must, a real must for any true Sun Ran fan. (The Guardian)
