I don't think I have every heard a bad Otis Redding album and I've owned most of the catalog at one time or another. The fact this one has a cool cover is simply icing on the cake. It's just one of those covers that brings a smile to my face. Also, if you like music - any kind of music, buy a copy of this class album !!!
I never noticed Ronnie Stoots was responsible for the album design. Stoots may be better know as the lead singer for The Regents and The Mar-Keys, but he was also a talented designer. He was responsible for the original Stax logo, as well as designing numerous Stax album covers.
