memphis horns

Arguably the greatest soul horn section ever, the Memphis Horns were a critical part of the Stax/Atlantic Records formula during the '60s and '70s. Featuring the duo of trumpeter Wayne Jackson and tenor saxophonist Andrew Love, they also backed King Curtis and Aretha Franklin in the '70s. But they are best known for appearances on songs by virtually every Stax artist. Their self-titled debut album for Atlantic Records was originally released in 1970 and features hot instrumental grooves on songs they originally recorded: Otis Redding's "I Can't Turn You Loose," Sam & Dave's "Soul Man," Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham's "Cry Like Baby" -- as well as some cooking original southern soul of their own.
