The story of Delaney and Bonnie is by now a famous one. The husband-and-wife team of Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett got their first recording contract in the soulful environs of Stax Records in 1969. The pair then briefly moved to Elektra (and were offered and accepted a contract at The Beatles' Apple Records before their prior association with Elektra negated it) before arriving at Atco in 1970 for their longest sustained recording contract. Though Delaney and Bonnie never achieved much in the

Review: Isaac Hayes, "Hot Buttered Soul," "Shaft" and "Black Moses" Reissues
As a songwriter, producer, arranger, and session pianist, Isaac Hayes was a key architect in creating the sound of Memphis-based Stax Records. But few could have foreseen his dramatic ascendance to superstardom - a rise that began with his 1969 solo album Hot Buttered Soul. Now, that seminal record has returned to vinyl along with 1971's pair of Shaft and Black Moses from Craft Recordings. All three of these landmark LPs have been given the deluxe treatment in both packaging and

Rhino is revisiting the final recordings of Otis Redding on a new set due on May 18. Dock of the Bay Sessions is the label's reconstruction of an album that never was, built around the song that became America's first posthumous chart-topper and Redding's only No. 1 hit, "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay."

'Bring It On' Again: Gomez Plan Deluxe Edition of Debut Album

Review: Sonny Rollins, "Way Out West: Deluxe Edition"
The musical power of Sonny Rollins' Way Out West may have been eclipsed by its most famous component - that famous William Claxton cover photo, depicting the nattily-attired saxophonist in a ten-gallon hat, with holster, gun belt, and yes, saxophone. All joking aside, the New York-born Rollins was way out west, having recorded the LP on his first trip to California. The cover was shot in the Mojave Desert, which could have stood in for the setting of any of the cowboy films he loved as child.
