Otis Blue by Otis Redding
Otis Blue is undeniably one of the most important soul albums ever made. Released in 1965, it solidified Otis Redding as a monumental voice in music, someone whose influence would extend far beyond his years. At the heart of the album are Redding’s soulful, impassioned performances, where he captures an array of human emotions with astonishing intensity. His ability to imbue each song with raw feeling and profound vulnerability makes Otis Blue a landmark record in both the soul genre and popular music at large.
