Description:
This Stax single finds Redding taking on the James Brown classic “Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag”, transforming it with his signature Southern soul energy. Tight horns, syncopated guitar riffs, and a driving rhythm section give the track a distinctive Stax spin, emphasizing groove over exact replication. The B-side, “Direct Me”, is a slower, introspective ballad, balancing the high-energy cover with deep emotional resonance.

Redding’s “Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag” cover has been influential in live performance and funk reinterpretation contexts.

“Direct Me”’s lush arrangement has influenced neo-soul and Motown revival productions,
