The Bar-kays - Gotta Groove

50th Anniversaary 180-gram vinyl reissue

All-analog mastering by Jeff Powell at Take Out Vinyl

Released in 1969 on Stax subsidiary label Volt Records, the Bar-Kays' Gotta Groove marked a triumphant return by a band reeling from tragedy after four members of the band were killed in a plane crash with Otis Redding in 1967. Surviving members Ben Cauley and James Alexander rebuilt the Bar-Kays with new musicians, and by 1969 they were back in the studio working with artists like Isaac Hayes. Gotta Groove was their first release with the new members and it stands as a testament to their talent.
