By the time 1971 started to roll around, Stax had virtually lost its identity. No longer concerned with maintaining its own ‘sound’, most of the recordings issued by the label in the early ‘70s were offloaded to other recording studios that were more than happy to take up the slack.

Muscle Shoals in particular became the location of choice for many Stax artists, so this show is more the story of the Muscle Shoals recording team than it is about Stax.
