Here we present Crate Kings 5: Stax O’ Wax, a reader created instrumental tribute to Stax Records and the groundbreaking artists and music that made the label legendary.
Such notable artists as Issac Hayes, Booker T & the MG’s, Albert King, Otis Redding, the Bar-Kays, and Rufus Thomas provided the foundation for the tracks while each producer sampled, chopped, flipped, reworked, and added some of their own soul to create something uniquely inspiring and new.
The compilation, which consists of 37 tracks original tracks, was mixed by Rafferty and features original artwork by Flipa. Special thanks to each producer for taking the time to participate. Your talent and contributions are always appreciated.
Please feel free to download, repost to your own website or blog, and shout CK5 from mountaintops. I’m sure that you won’t be disappointed.
