Since completing 2000’s ‘Respect’, Otis Redding fulfilled their contract with SixSteps records and where under no obligation to release another album. Self-described as Retro with lots of words, Otis Redding comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. Now signed to Otis Redding’s SixSteps records, the title track from second album “Very Best of Otis Redding CD1″ leads Otis Redding’s back-to-school campaign. Lots of variety between tracks.

I Can’t Turn You Loose has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. In Pain in My Heart the music gets its power. You Left the Water Running is the first taste of the new album.

That’s How Strong My Love Is is possibly the best song Otis Redding has come up. My Girl is the most memorable and cool. Musically Cigarettes and Coffee is superior to other tracks in Very Best of Otis Redding CD1. I loved It’s Growing the first time I heard it. Match Game - This is a very lively song.
