In early 1970, Booker T Jones was on sabbatical in California having grown disillusioned with confines of Stax Records and Memphis, when he heard the Beatles' latest effort, Abbey Road. So moved was he by the Beatles' genius and daring, that he sat down and drafted his own Memphis-style tribute to the group. The album, released later that same year, is titled McLemore Avenue, after the street where Stax's studio and headquarters were located. This week on BSC, we have Memphis' very own Booker T and The MG's tribute band, The Maitre D's, performing McLemore Avenue from start to finish in a performance captured on the cutting room floor of Studio A at the Stax Museum of American Soul Music.

For our last series of the season, we have the story of the rise and fall, the rebirth and eventual demise of the legendary Memphis R&B, soul and funk label, Stax Records. This month we're talking about the groundbreaking album that helped kickstart what came to be known as the “Memphis sound” - the first official release on the Stax Record Label, 1962's “Green Onions” by Booker T. & the M.G.s.

En esta entrega de Cloud Jazz estrenamos 'Never Too Late, nuevo álbum del guitarrista Lowell Hopper. En la panorámica a recientes lanzamientos discográficos en el entorno del Smooth Jazz nos hacemos eco de los álbumes de Paul Taylor, Ryan La Valette, Johnny Britt, Kim Scott y Vladimir Cetkar. En el bloque central hacemos un repaso por la discografía de The Memphis Horns, prestigiosa sección de metales que aportó su sonido en muchas grabaciones del sello Stax Records y que también funcionó como banda independiente.

A inicios de la década del 60, en el corazón de Memphis, Tennessee, se gestó una revolución musical. Desde un cine convertido en estudio de grabación emplazado en el 926 de East McLemore, Stax Records emergió como un vibrante centro donde se forjó el "Sonido de Memphis", una mezcla única de gospel, blues y rock 'n' roll que rompió barreras raciales y transformó la industria musical.

Stax Records and Special Guest Rob BowmanStax Records, founded in 1957 by Jim Stewart and Estelle Axton in Memphis, Tennessee, played a pivotal role in developing soul and R&B music. Originally called Satellite Records, it was rebranded in 1961, merging the founders' last names. Known for its deep, emotive sound, Stax produced timeless hits through iconic artists like Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, Booker T. & the MG's, and Sam & Dave. The label's house band, Booker T. & the MG's, contributed immensely to its distinctive grooves. Stax also stood out for its progressive integration of black and white artists and staff, which was rare. After a split with Atlantic Records in 1968 and financial troubles, Stax ceased operations in 1975. Despite its short lifespan, Stax's influence endures. Rob Bowman, a renowned Stax historian, continues to highlight its enduring legacy in shaping soul, R&B, and pop music history. Rob Bowman's book Soulsville, U.S.A.The Story of Stax Records offers an in-depth look at the label's history, detailing its origins, rise, and eventual decline. The book also provides comprehensive biographies of the promoters, producers, and performers who contributed to the label's legacy. In addition to the book, there's an HBO Original four-part documentary series titled STAX: SOULSVILLE U.S.A. -the series delves into the rich history of Stax Records. It premiered on May 20, 2024, and is available for streaming on HBO Max.

Rockshow episode 211 The Story of Stax RecordsStax Records was a pioneering American record label based in Memphis, Tennessee, that played a crucial role in the development of soul, R&B, and funk music. Founded in 1957 by Jim Stewart and his sister Estelle Axton, the label became synonymous with the gritty, raw, and deeply emotional sound that defined Southern soul.Stax was home to legendary artists such as Otis Redding, Booker T. & the M.G.'s, Sam & Dave, Wilson Pickett (through a deal with Atlantic), Isaac Hayes, and The Staple Singers. Unlike Motown, which had a polished and orchestrated style, Stax music was known for its raw energy, tight horn sections, and a heavy gospel influence.One of Stax's most defining characteristics was its integrated roster of musicians, producers, and executives during a time of deep racial segregation in the South. The studio band, Booker T. & the M.G.'s, featured both Black and white musicians, which was groundbreaking in the 1960s.The label thrived throughout the 1960s but faced difficulties after the tragic death of Otis Redding in 1967 and the loss of its distribution deal with Atlantic Records in 1968. It experienced a resurgence in the early 1970s, largely due to Isaac Hayes' massive success with Hot Buttered Soul and Shaft. However, financial struggles led to Stax's bankruptcy in 1975.In later years, Stax was revived as a brand, and its legacy continues through reissues and the Stax Museum of American Soul Music in Memphis. Its impact on music remains profound, influencing countless artists across multiple genres.https://staxrecords.com/https://youtube.com/@staxrecords?si=bPBfHvzs7kxHrb5Dhttps://staxmuseum.org/#StaxRecords #SoulMusic #MemphisSoul #OtisRedding #IsaacHayes #BookerTandTheMGs #SouthernSoul #RNB #ClassicSoul #SamAndDave #TheStapleSingers #SoulLegends #Funk #VintageVinyl #MusicHistory #StaxMuseum #RespectYourRoots

We're on a mission...to cram as much Blues Brothers history and content into this episode as possible! The guys are taking on the music and movies of Elwood and Jake Blues (along with Buster, Mighty Mack and Cab) this week. Besides discussing the two films and numerous albums, we're talking about the real life band behind the brothers and looking at the way they were shaped, both inspirationally and literally, by the music coming out of Stax Records in the 1960s. And hey there's a quiz question in this one!

Embarquez pour un voyage passionnant à la découverte de l'histoire de Sam & Dave, l'un des duos les plus emblématiques de la musique soul américaine des années 60. Ombline Roche, votre guide, vous plonge dans les coulisses de ce tandem explosif, mêlant succès retentissants et tensions personnelles.Dès le début, on est captivé par le parcours singulier de Sam Moore, ce jeune afro-américain qui rêvait de devenir pasteur avant de se laisser séduire par les sirènes du Rhythm & Blues. Sa rencontre fortuite avec Dave Prater, son futur acolyte, marque le début d'une aventure musicale hors du commun. Ensemble, ils forment le duo Sam & Dave et signent avec le prestigieux label Atlantic Records, la maison de Ray Charles.Mais le succès ne vient pas du premier coup. C'est un producteur avisé qui aura l'idée de les envoyer enregistrer à Memphis, au cœur des studios Stax Records, berceau de la soul music. Là-bas, Sam & Dave trouvent leur véritable voie et enchaînent les tubes, devenant l'une des locomotives du label. Leurs concerts enflammés, où leur énergie débordante électrise les foules, leur valent le surnom de "Double Dynamite". Cependant, derrière cette façade étincelante, les tensions entre les deux artistes ne cessent de s'intensifier. Leur relation tumultueuse finit par avoir raison du duo, qui se sépare une première fois en 1970, avant de se reformer sporadiquement, sans jamais retrouver la magie des débuts.Malgré ces moments de discorde, Sam & Dave laisseront une empreinte indélébile sur la musique soul, avec des titres devenus des classiques, comme "Soul Man". Leur histoire mouvementée, ponctuée de succès et de ruptures, est un véritable roman rock'n'roll, qui nous plonge au cœur de la scène musicale afro-américaine des sixties.

OK Jazz turns 10 years old today! And to celebrate, we're heading to one of the most musical cities on Earth and my favorite ever record label, STAX! From 1957-1975 Stax Records in Memphis, Tennessee produced some of the greatest music of the 20th century; on this special edition of the podcast, join me as we look past the big hits to explore some of the deeper cuts from one of the great catalogs of music ever recorded. We're going to Soulsville, USA!!!

One half of the legendary duo, Sam and Dave, Sam Moore has died. He was the high voice on their well- known hits: “Soul Man” and “Hold on I'm Coming,” which was used by Barack Obama in his presidential campaign. He also did campaign work for Bob Dole and Donald Trump. Sam was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame in 1992. He had many admirers including Bruce Springsteen. Sam and Dave were the number two recording stars for Stax Records, behind Otis Redding. They also recorded “You Don't Know Like I Know,” and “I Thank You.” “Soul Man” charted again in the late 1970s when the “Blues Brothers,” John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, recorded it. Rest in peace Sam.

The perfect pop star needs to have many attributes, rock solid songs, eye catching style, photogenic glamour and of course the type of personality that jumps off the page. Very few contenders manage to tick all of these boxes but when they do they make an impression on society that leaves an indelible mark. Alison Clarkson's alter ego Betty Boo had all these qualities in spades. Her music was magnetic, her style iconic and her personality projected confidence and rebellion, so much so that when the pop Svengali Chris Herbert decided to form the all conquering Spice Girls his brief was to find 5 Betty Boos. However Betty Boo was not the manufactured pop star you might expect, rather she was a determined young woman who studied audio production, wrote her own songs and fell in love with Hip-Hop at precisely the right time. After a period in the limelight Betty stepped back into the studio and continued to create music with the likes of Blur, Girls Aloud, Hear-say, Danni Minogue and Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Now back with a bang Betty Boo has a new album 'Rip up the rulebook' and her sound has matured but retains that dash of rebellious optimism that we all fell in love with back in the day.It really is a pleasure to welcome the one and only Betty Boo to What Goes Around.Before that Eamon gets infuriated about Stax Records and then finds refuge at a DONK Rave.Betty in Maccie D's with the PE!https://youtu.be/8PSbg7ynGqM?si=Ff5Q93SUO5jpeuOY Hosted on Acast.

John Heath of EAP Society joins Justin for an extensive (but still HIGHLY abbreviated!) discussion about the history of the music industry in Memphis before and during Elvis' career, from early blues recordings made by Ralph Peer to Sam Phillips' Sun Records, from indie labels inspired by Sun's success to the monumental Stax Records, how Chips Moman's American Sound came together, and up through Elvis's Jungle Room recordings as the city's music industry wound down in the late 70s.

“I wasn't bound to a style,” Al Kooper has said. He was talking about his guitar playing but just as easily could have been talking about the totality of Al Kooper, songwriter, musician, singer, producer, band director. “If anything, I was known for being in the right place at the right time and playing the right thing.” Kooper has been at the heart of rock & roll's time/space continuum for much of its history.Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes emerged from the New Jersey Shore in 1974. Though they carried a significant influence (and some key personnel) from Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, the Jukes evolved as more of a white R&B horn band in the Memphis tradition embodied by Stax Records. Organized by singer John “Southside Johnny” Lyon, guitarist and songwriter Steve Van Zandt (who decamped for the E Street Band in 1975 but continued to produce, manage, and write songs for the Jukes), and Richie “La Bamba” Rosenberg, the band is well known for its high-energy live shows and no-holds-barred songs.The Jukes' brand of raucous soul, roots-tinged rock, and bluesy reverie has flourished across the band's long career. Rolling Stone named Hearts of Stone one of the top 100 albums of the 1970s and '80s.

Another wildly enjoyable dive into music documentaries, industry dynamics, fascinating interviews, motion picture soundtracks, and more featuring Stax Records, Sarah McLachlan, REM, Justin Timberlake, Dylan, Max Steiner, The Black Keys, John Cale, and others. Informative and fun every time!

In the 1960s and 1970s, the Memphis sound was everywhere: Sam and Dave, Otis Redding, Carla Thomas, Isaac Hayes — the list goes on. Not only did the Memphis sound (a.k.a. Memphis soul) bring an amazing range of musical talent to the world, it also shined a light on the unsung city of Memphis, Tennessee and on a remarkable record company called Stax Records. In her expansive HBO docuseries “STAX: Soulsville, U.S.A.”, director Jamila Wignot (“Ailey”) goes inside the recording studio and widens her lens to look at the deep cultural impact that the musicians and executives of Stax had on American culture.   Joining Ken on the pod, Jamila discusses what drew her into this epic, constantly surprising story of a small record label that grew to be one of the centers of the music world — only to see the entire enterprise come to a tragic end. How did Stax records become a magnet for Black musicians and producers and a beacon for experimentation and improvisation in popular music? In what ways did Stax, with its interracial musical acts, break down racial barriers, while, at the same time, fall short in confronting the issue of race in the South? And what made the 1972 Wattstax concert in Los Angeles, with over 100,000 mostly Black fans, the “most badass thing” you can imagine? This docuseries is stacked with one fascinating, enlightening story after another.   “STAX: Soulsville, U.S.A.” is streaming on max.    Follow: @jamilaw on Instagram @topdocspod on Instagram and twitter/X   Hidden Gem: “Pumping Iron”   The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

You might know Rachel Platten for the wildly successful "Fight Song," but she's in the middle of a renaissance that's bringing her artistry into a new era. PART ONE:Paul and Scott  give their unfiltered responses to the new-ish 4-part Stax Records documentary streaming on Max.PART TWO:Our in-depth conversation with Rachel Platten.ABOUT RACHEL PLATTEN:Emmy Award-winning singer, songwriter, musician, and children's book author Rachel Platten is best known for “Fight Song,” an anthemic power ballad that became an international Top Ten hit in 2015, was certified six times Platinum, has been streamed over a billion times, and was even adopted as Hillary Clinton's campaign theme song in 2016. Rachel's music career began with a self-released album in 2003, followed by a move to New York City's Greenwich Village. She found success licensing songs for films and television before releasing her album Be Here in 2009. The single “1000 Ships” hit number 23 on Billboard's Adult Top 40 chart. Her third full-length album, Wildfire, was released on Columbia Records and featured the successful singles “Fight Song,” “Stand by You,” and “Better Place.” The follow-up album, Waves, featured the single “Broken Glass.” Rachel issued the non-LP single "You Belong" in 2018, signaling a sonic shift away from her prior major label releases. Exploring new creative territory by embracing her struggles with mental health, Rachel has released recent songs such as “Girls,” “Mercy,” and “Bad Thoughts.” Poised to reassert herself as an artist focused on unflinching honesty and authenticity, she will release the album I Am Rachel Platten later this year.

The first laws criminalizing stalking in California stemmed from the 1991 trial of Tucson resident Robert Bardo, who tracked down and killed LA actress Rebecca Schaeffer.  Nevada is crucial for another Biden presidential victory in November. But an emerging group of evangelical Latino voters could deliver a win for Trump, who leads in the polls. After closing arguments next week, Trump's legal fate will be with a New York jury.

As Executive Director of the Stax Museum of American Soul Music in Memphis, TN, Jeff Kollath oversees the world's only museum dedicated to preserving and promoting the legacy of Stax Records and American soul music. Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, John Lee Hooke, Booker T & the MGs and the endless Stax roster of musical icons produced  songs that stirred our souls and shared our collective story, a story born of pain and glory, rags and riches, love and lust. Stax liberated our hearts and freed our hips to move like nobody was watching. Kollath, brandishing a BA and Masters in History, shares the complex STAX story everday, highlighting the granular details of each artist and the revolution they created. And overseeing magnificent installations that capture the moments when musical and cultural magic happened in a beaten up corner of Memphis. Kollath has researched and written extensively about soul music and Black culture during the Civil Rights and Black Power eras. Prior to arriving in Memphis in 2015, Kollath created dynamic public programming and exhibitions for the UW-Madison Center for the Humanities, the Milwaukee County Historical Society, and the Wisconsin Veterans Museum.
