Various Artists - Stax Country

Long-lost country gems from the later days of the Stax empire!

Includes liner notes by Tony Award nominated playwright and author Colin Escott

Featuring "Hippie From The Hills" and "Truck Driver's Heaven"

As part of Stax's year-long, 60th anniversary celebration, this quirky collection of long-lost gems from the latter days of the Stax empire, Stax Country highlights the Memphis soul label's effort to branch out into country music.

Although the majority of the tunes on this album never made it to the radio waves, the tracks here stand as a unique time capsule of early '70s country. Includes new liner notes by country biographer and Tony-award winning playwright Colin Escott.
