Otis Redding - Dictionary of Soul

On October 15th, Volt released ‘Complete And Unbelievable: The Otis Redding Dictionary Of Soul’, otherwise known as ‘Dictionary Of Soul’. Fourteen months later he would die in a plane crash that claimed the life of his entire backing group, bar the trumpet player. The record’s supple muscular Memphis soul take on ‘Day Tripper’ by the beautiful Paul McCartney and his evil sideman John Lennon, as well as ‘Try A Little Tenderness’, mark it as a glimpse at what could have been as well as an all-time classic in its own right.
It’s also listed as #448 on Rolling Stone’s 2020 list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. This week comedians Christopher Macarthur-Boyd and Liam Withnail did a deep dive on it, and now they’re going to talk about it. Featuring good shouts and hot takes the boys on everything from ‘Watch The Throne’ by Kanye West & Jay Z to ‘Psycho Killer’ by the Talking Heads. All that plus Secret Posho, and much much more. Enjoy An Album. Enjoy!
