This 50th anniversary reissue of Otis Redding's stunning 1964 debut solo album captures the soulful, impassioned elegance of one of the best vocalists who has ever lived. This reissue features the original mono recording, and is foil stamped as well for you collectors out there. Redding helped define the Stax Records sound with his rich, sonorous vocals and stellar songwriting, and this album is packed with his stone cold early hits like "That's What My Heart Needs," "These Arms of Mine," "Pain In My Heart," "Hey Hey Baby," as well as some choice covers. All the songs are propelled by Redding's soulful vocals, as well as the top-notch Stax in-house band, which gave these songs their R&B groove. Pain In My Heart started Redding on his all-too-brief creative journey to music stardom, and his debut album still pulses with an elegance that will live on for as long as people love good music.
