Backed by the Memphis musicians who would come to define the Stax sound, he sounds hungry and completely sure of himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a record that hints at everything to come, from the stage fire of his later years to the gentle genius of his biggest hits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor soul collectors, an Otis debut in the Rhino Reserve line belongs right at the front of the crate, ready for the next evening that calls for something with real feeling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57165867319601,"sku":"603497809318","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Otis_Redding-Pain_In_My_Heart_Rhino_Reserve.jpg?v=1793186230","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/otis-redding-pain-in-my-heart-rhino-reserve","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
