Otis Redding / Dock of the Bay Sessions
Rhino are to issue Dock of the Bay Sessions, a new Otis Redding collection, in May this year.
The release is part of an ongoing 50th anniversary celebration of the (Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay which topped the charts in America on 16 March 1968.
Although nothing is actually previously unreleased, Dock of the Bay Sessions effectively brings together individual tracks that have found their way onto posthumous albums and compilations and attempts to paint a picture of what ‘the next’ Otis Redding album might have looked like had the singer not been tragically killed in a plane crash on 10 December 1967.
This new collection, which features 12 songs including Hard To Handle, Gone Again and I’ve Got Dreams To Remember, was compiled with input from Roger Armstrong of Ace Records and Otis biographer Jonathan Gould and has the Redding family’s full endorsement.
Dock of the Bay Sessions will be issued on vinyl and CD on 18 May 2018.
