Synopsis
Rob Schirmer's highly detailed, thorough history of the Memphis-based seminal soul record label is a year-by-year rundown of its rise to fame as the funky Southern flip side of Tamla Motown's smoother Detroit-based sounds. Schirmer skillfully gathers the strands of the label's story from multiple sources, from Stax founder James F. Stewart, a bank teller who started it with his sister, Estelle Axton (the first two letters of their last names combined gave the label its name), to Al Bell, who steered the imprint to success in the late 1960s and early '70s and eventually oversaw its messy demise. Interviews and comments from many of the label's key performers, like William Bell, Isaac Hayes, and Booker T. Jones, provide valuable background to this story of an organization that, for a brief period, reflected the spirit and turmoil of its city and its times. A dozen years in the making, SOULSVILLE USA combines an erudite writing style and extensive research with Schirmer's soul-fan enthusiasm in an absorbing and comprehensive study.

Publisher's Note
Soulsville, U.S.A.: The Story of Stax Records tells the inside story of the landmark Stax label, its many famous acts, and the men and women behind its sound. Along with Motown, Stax Records was the premiere R&B label of the '60s and early '70s. Artists such as Otis Redding, Sam and Dave, Isaac Hayes, the Staple Singers, Rufus and Carla Thomas, Johnnie Taylor, Albert King, and Booker T. and the MG's all recorded at the label's legendary Memphis-based studio, creating what became known as the "Stax sound". The Stax story is more than just the story of a successful record label. Stax was one of the first truly integrated studios, with black and white musicians, songwriters, and executives working together to create a unique sound. This book - based on years of first-person interviews, research, and detective work - reveals new information about how these seminal recordings were made and highlights the dark underbelly of the music business as it has been practiced in America.
