About
Dock of the Bay Sessions is a compilation album by Otis Redding, released on May 18, 2018. The release is part of an ongoing 50th anniversary celebration of the song "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" which topped the charts in America on March 16, 1968. Although nothing is actually previously unreleased, Dock of the Bay Sessions effectively brings together individual tracks that have found their way onto posthumous albums and compilations and attempts to paint a picture of what the next Otis Redding album might have looked like had the singer not been tragically killed in a plane crash on December 10, 1967. This new collection, which features 12 songs including Hard To Handle, Gone Again and I've Got Dreams To Remember, was compiled with input from Roger Armstrong of Ace Records and Otis biographer Jonathan Gould and has the Redding family's full endorsement.

This compilation was compiled with input from Roger Armstrong of and Otis biographer Jonathan Gould. It has the Redding family’s full endorsement. Although the individual tracks have been previously released across a smattering of posthumous albums and compilations, this marks the first time they have been assembled to resemble what this album could possibly have been. In the liner notes, musician-journalist Bob Stanley writes: “This album is the first indication of a new Otis Redding, one that has slayed audiences in Europe, one which won him a whole new crowd at the Monterey International Pop Festival.”
