This CD reissue features live performances by artists from the Atlantic Records roster (or Stax/Volt in the case of the Falcons & Rufus Thomas) This disc is essential for the two Falcons tunes "I Found a Love" and "Alabama Bound"; the songs may be the only live recordings of the Falcons in existence. The Coasters enact the slow, comedic "Taint Nothing to Me" and the rousing "Speedo's Back in Town," featuring Earl "Speedo" Carroll on lead. A young Otis Redding sounds insecure and tentative on "Pain in My Heart" and "These Arms of Mine," but Thomas is as confident as ever on "Walking the Dog" and "Rockin' Chair." Doris Troy, Ray Charles, and Apollo favorite Ben E. King give sterling performances, with King doing a three-song set of "Groovin'," "Don't Play That Song," and "Stand by Me." ~ Andrew Hamilton, Rovi
