"Clay was as hard sounding as any Hi Records artist ever got, and his sides for the label (all produced by the legendary Willie Mitchell and featuring the great Hi Rhythm Section) sound like they should have come out on Stax. This is explosive stuff, and Clay's treatment of songs like "Trying to Live My Life Without You" are a must for any Southern soul collection. Other highlights here include "Brand New Thing," "I Didn't Know the Meaning of Pain," and "Home Is Where the Heart Is," all of which exhibit the same kind of country and gospel mix that made Otis Redding a star". 15 track comp from 1998.
