Description

You’ve already opened your box by now, and now you’re probably wondering what you’re doing here. Well, Stax closed in 1975, as we established on the last episode, but the road to Stax as it is today: A label and a thriving museum and music academy, has 45 years of history for us to catch up on. As I mentioned in the first episode, the Stax complex at 926 E. McLemore Ave. in Memphis today is not the same Stax that was there in 1975. It took a lot of work--mainly by a Stax writer and office worker named Deanie Parker--to deliver what I think is the best music museum on earth: The Stax Museum of American Soul Music.  In this, our sixth and final episode of the season, I sit down with the museum’s executive director Jeff Kollath to talk about the museum’s mission, and how Stax went from a studio to a pile of rubble to a museum.
