The Bar-Kays Soul Finger

Volt records 1967  VOLT 417

 notes:
Soul Finger is the debut album of the Bar-Kays, issued three months
after the single of the same name. It was recorded by Tom Dowd
and Chris Huston on Friday, June 23, 1967, at the Stax studio in Memphis.
The instrumental band, after being signed in early 1967, was tutored by
Al Jackson, Jr. and the other members of Booker T. & the M.G.'s,
which shows in the tightness of the rhythm section. That summer
they also were selected by Otis Redding as his new backup band.
