Joe Tex: First On The Dial
All About Jazz (Free subscription) | 08/23/2008
Joe Tex had some thirty hits with the Dial label and his earliest efforts for it are collected here. His was a soul voice that lacked both the grit of Otis Redding and James Carr's depth, which ensured that his ability to move was dependent on the quality of his material. He was a songwriter with a huge output, and with one exception here everything comes from his pen...

7 Original Recordings that Blow the Remakes Away
The mental_floss Blogs (Free subscription) | 08/20/2008

And then there’s that great Aretha Franklin remake of Otis Redding’s “Respect.” And who can argue with Johnny Cash’s cover of NIN’s “Hurt”? But generally, I tend to prefer the [...]

The Legacy of Jerry Wexler
Matt Dentler's Blog (Free subscription) | 08/18/2008
Jerry Wexler died, at the age of 91, late last week. I'll be honest, I didn't realize the man was still alive. It's still sad news. I haven't been sure what to say here, and then I found this tribute from Rolling Stone, which kinda sums it up better than anyone else could. Wexler was more than a pioneer of...
