Koko Taylor, who was born Cora Walton in 1928, just outside of Tennessee, had a voice so strong and a presence so respected that later in her life it would earn her the title “The Queen of the Blues.” In the early 1950's her and her husband packed up, hit the road, and headed for Chicago. In 1962 she was discovered by blues artist and producer Willie Dixon who helped get her signed to Chess Records. The rest is blues history. She was a Grammy winner, Blues Hall of Fame inductee, and had released 15 studio albums starting as early as 1968 and ending with her final release in 2007. Koko Taylor's talents would influence artists such as Janis Joplin, and Bonnie Raitt. In this episode of the all-vinyl Stax of Wax our host Mitch Anderson dives into the Vinyl Me Please Classics release of the month, I Got What it Takes by Koko Taylor which was originally released in 1975 on Alligator Records.

This week we chose to do an entire episode featuring the amazing folk/garage rock sound of The Animals. Even though the original lineup only lasted from 1964 to 1966 (later to become Eric Burden & the Animals whom we also feature in this episode) they would reunite over the years to play hit after hit for sold out crowds. The influence of The Animals influence is even extremely easy to hear in today's lo-fi, garage rock revival. Enough talk, lets spin. This is the all-vinyl Stax of Wax.

In this episode of Stax of Wax we explore the freshly released vinyl from Childish Gambino's third studio album, "Awaken, My Love!" This record has so much going on. In a brilliant way. While listening to the album, a diverse, yet extremely focused group of music entered our head and so we built a vinyl mix around it for you. This episode focuses on the songs, themes, and sounds that we feel "Awaken, My Love!" gives nods to throughout it's entirety. This record is a must own. The packaging is gorgeous as well.

There is so much to say, and even more to hear from the Wizard of Wax himself, Jack White. In this episode we spin three sets of vinyl that revolve around Mr. White and his record label Third Man Records. This mix is eclectic, full of fuzz, sprinkled with surprises, and throwing all sorts of vintage vibe your way. Thanks for tuning in to the all-vinyl Stax of Wax.

In this mix you will hear music from all sorts of different genres, from many different eras, but the one thing that all of these songs have in common is that they were recorded and performed live in front of an audience. So hold your lighter, errr phone in the air and listen to some of the best live sets ever recorded to vinyl!

In this episode of Stax of Wax we focus on the music that was made by Neil Young between the years of 1967 and 1988. With a discography as large as his it was tough to pinpoint exactly which songs, off of which albums we should play. We chose some hits, some covers, and some deep cuts that we think showcase these years of his music very well. Enjoy the ride.
