The Stax sound has always intrigued me, and a few of these tracks are a perfect example of why that is. Even though not all of these artists and records were on the Stax label,  some were backed by Staxs bands that helped to create that sound. The other songs were influenced by that same sound in some way, shape or form.  From the early 50s Soul to the 70s Funk, that Stax Sound influence is definite. Give it a listen, and let me know what you think. Click below to play The Waxcast Episode 3, or open The Media Player in the sidebar to the left.
