Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul
by Otis Redding
Really loved this version of 'a change is gonna come' its more inspired by rock and blues than the original version. The soulfulness of the vocals really helped get the emotion of the lyrics across. Really liked the vocals on 'my girl'. Found it much more soulful than the original. I liked the strong feeling of rhythm and the guitar solo in 'rock me baby'. I like the use of saxophones and trumpets in 'satisfaction' I think it really adds to the song. I like how the start and end of the album was quite sad/angry whereas the middle of the album was the most upbeat.
