Stax
Like Steve Cropper, Eddie Floyd is a veteran of Stax's glory days, the singer of 1967's immortal “Knock on Wood.” Now he, too, is back on the newly revived Stax, and he's also looking back, in a way. “Eddie Loves You So” highlights the 73-year-old Alabama native's skills as a writer, as it features soul numbers he wrote for other artists, going back to his pre-Stax days with the Falcons, and a couple of newer compositions. Not to slight his singing – Floyd sounds great.
