A great indie label, and what Motown could have been. Stax was based out of a studio located in a record shop in Memphis. They
defined soul music in the 60's, with both their own releases and
several on Atlantic Records. Sam and Dave, Booker T. and the MG's,
Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding... The Big Chill
soundtrack for Southern yuppies? Maybe this, and beach music.
