Description
When we last left you, Stax was just starting it’s climb from a regional soul label to one of the most iconic record labels of all time, thanks in part to a distribution deal with Atlantic Records. The boom thanks to artists like Sam & Dave and Booker T. and the M.G.’s--along with a changing music industry--lead to the label starting it’s concerted push into LPs, vs. being the singles label they’d been before. The same time this was happening, a Georgian guitarist named Johnny Jenkins got offered some studio time at Stax. And little did Stax know, a guy along for the ride would become their most popular artist.
