Otis Redding isn't new to many people, but I am having a musical "throwback day" and I have been listening to The Dock of the Bay, his sixth studio album and the first of a number of posthumously released Otis Redding albums. I picked this song to review because it is different than other songs on this album, the song is more of a conversation with a lady, Carla Thomas, talking bad about Otis and Otis just calling himself "a lover!" (and it's just a funky song). The lyrics are humorous and really shows Redding's comical side which isn't exposed much in his other songs.
