the STORY of STAX...

...the WoMaD celebrations continue here on rfsMOJOfilter with a feature on Stax Records, an American record label founded in 1957, originally based out of Memphis, Tennessee. The label was a major factor in the creation of the Southern soul and Memphis soul music styles, and frequently released early funk and 1960s Chicago blues recordings. While Stax almost exclusively produced African-American music, the label is noted for having several popular ethnically-integrated bands.
