Otis Redding: Otis Blue (1965)

(Note from Rob: Vegas almost killed me and I forgot what day of the week it was. Sorry everyone.)     If you can't handle our skunk ape, then you probably can't handle this podcast giving it to your claspers. But maybe you can handle the best podcast about Otis Redding and the 178th greatest album of all time, Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul.    But before you earn your next album patch on your Beck Did it Better letter jacket one of our favorite listeners calls in with a fantastic review of the Sphere in Las Vegas. We also discuss T-Pain crushing Tennessee Whiskey, soft jam records, tailored suits, and text chain etiquette. If you have 176 unread podcast summaries in your queue, you'll fit right in.    Then at (1:01:00) we take you into the wonderful world of Otis Redding and his third studio album, Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul. We discuss Stax Records covering Motown, where Otis Redding ranks in the greatest singers of all time, and the best covers of Satisfaction covers.  We also go down in the valley and discuss the greatest high school choir songs ever. This part of the podcast is sure to leave you staring at your bathroom mirror for 43 minutes, wondering what's the difference between a cryptid and a mythological beast.   It's too bad this podcast doesn't have Mo Money, because we certainly have Mo Problems, and next week we'll prove it when we become the best podcast about the Notorious B.I.G. and cover his final studio album, Life After Death.
