Our Take

Otis Redding's "Dock Of The Bay Sessions" is a delightful time capsule of the soul legend's final recording sessions. With a hint of melancholy tinged with hope, this album showcases Redding's raw and emotive vocals in their prime.

The opening track, "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay," sets the tone perfectly with its laid-back vibe and iconic whistling solo. It's hard not to feel a sense of longing as Redding croons about watching the tide roll away.
But don't let the sombre mood fool you, tracks like "Ole Man Trouble" and "Let Me Come on Home" will have you grooving along in no time.

Redding's powerful voice shines on heartfelt ballads like "I Love You More Than Words Can Say" and "Open the Door." The re-mastered tracks sound crisp and clear, allowing listeners to fully appreciate Redding's soulful delivery.

While some might find the album lacking in energy compared to Redding's live performances, "Dock Of The Bay Sessions" is a must-listen for any fan of classic soul music. It's a bittersweet reminder of the talent the world lost too soon.

In conclusion, Otis Redding's "Dock Of The Bay Sessions" is a beautiful tribute to one of music's greatest voices. So grab a cup of tea, put on your headphones, and let Redding's soulful melodies transport you to a simpler, more soulful time. Cheers!
