Dock of the Bay Sessions is a new reconstruction of an album that never was, built around the song that became America's first posthumous chart-topper and Otis Redding's only No. 1 hit, "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay."  Although it will never be definitively known what Redding had planned for his new LP, Dock of the Bay Sessions collects the recordings Redding made during this final period of his life to assemble a might-have-been release.  It was compiled with input from Roger Armstrong of Ace Records and Redding biographer Jonathan Gould and has the Redding family's full endorsement. While the individual tracks comprising this set have been previously released on posthumous albums and various compilations, this marks the first time they have been brought together cohesively.  Available on CD, vinyl, and digital platforms.
