Stax Country offers a diverse crew of artists, many of whom led colorful lives, but never found great success in the music industry. O.B. McClinton was perhaps the most successful of the bunch. McClinton became known to Stax as a songwriter, penning R&B tracks for Otis Redding, the Staple Singers and James Carr, and signed his own deal to Stax as a country act in 1971. McClinton, who covers Jim Weatherly’s “Finer Things in Life” on this compilation, went on to record for several major country labels, though never found wide success in the genre. Clinton’s 1973 third album release was Live at Randy’s Rodeo, a collection of country standards from “The Chocolate Cowboy”, as he referred to himself.
