The Mar-Keys’ tracks demonstrate a jazzier, more sophisticated side than what has previously been known on record, with swinging cuts like Candy or Blue Peanut. Conversely, I was delighted to come across a rocking frat-house version of Link’s Raw-Hide from the band’s earliest sessions. Amongst the MGs’ gems are the grooving beat of Put A Label On It, Funky Folks Cha Cha and Let’s Go, the smooth groove of Slidin’ and Jazzy, and a fascinating early take of the combos 1963 single Tic-Tac-Toe. Compiling Stax Instrumentals was a lot of fun, and getting to chat to Steve Cropper and Wayne Jackson in the process made it a total honour. Whether you’re a Stax diehard or merely the casual instrumental fan, you won’t be disappointed.
