Redding, and W. Pickett. A collection of recordings by Steve Cropper, the legendary guitarist who represented the Memphis soul sound and passed away in December 2025. He was the exclusive guitarist for Stax Records in Memphis, a symbol of American rhythm and blues in the 60s and 70s, and in 1962, his own band, Booker T. \u0026amp; the MG's, had a hit with \"Green Onion.\" This blues instrumental number was used in various films and served as a bridge between British and American rock. He was a cornerstone of the sound for R\u0026amp;B legends like Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Eddie Floyd, and Sam \u0026amp; Dave, and also composed hit songs such as \"Dock of the Bay,\" \"In the Midnight Hour,\" and \"Knock on Wood.\" His guitar style was far removed from lengthy guitar solos, instead focusing on how to make the vocals shine. His sophisticated phrasing on his Fender Telecaster impressed connoisseurs and earned him the respect of many professional musicians. Everyone knows his groovy guitar cutting on \"Soul Man.\" This collection compiles recordings from his first recording, the Mar-Keys era (1961), to the peak of his career as a Telecaster craftsman, right up until Otis Redding's death. Includes detailed Japanese liner notes detailing the circumstances, anecdotes, and track listings. Part of Eternal Grooves' \"ROCK OFF\" series!
