A good mix of Otis. This was a bargain bin pick up I got to save myself the bother of making a casette from my various vinyl sources. Glad I did. Everyone needs a little Otis now and again.

20 tracks here.
My favourite ones are here: "The Dock of the Bay", "Try a Little Tenderness", "I've Benn Loving You Too Long", and "Respect"...
However I don't like the title of this compilation made of an abusing use of the word "Ultimate"! There is nothing ultimate in a 55' running time compilation when tracks like "Love Man", "Amen" and "I can't Turn You Loose" to name those 3, are missing. There was room to add more than 20' of stuff.

5* for the content but only 3* for its bombastic packaging!

Anyway don't overlook it if you can get it on the sales bin like I did.

_The Ultimate Otis Redding_ is the first Otis Redding CD that I ever bought. Over the years, I have become very accustomed to hearing these specific songs in this specific order. Every song here is first rate.

"Try A Little Tenderness" is the greatest soul performance I've ever heard.
