Rock n Roll Grad School #14- Guitar Great Steve Cropper

This week we talked with the legendary Steve Cropper.


"Hey, hold on a minute Slappy(s)," we hear you say. "'Legendary'
is strong words." You're right, it is. But when you're talking
about someone who co-wrote "Green Onions," and "Soul Man" and
"Sitting on the Dock of the Bay," forgive us for throwing around
the 'L' word.


Steve has a new record out called "Fire It Up," and  it does
what he has done his entire career; it rocks. We talked with
Steve about the new album, but we also talked about what it was
like at Stax Records (!) during their heyday. We also talked
about his friend (!!) Otis Redding.


What else can we tell you? Steve was great fun and very kind
(it's that southern gentleman thing) AND told us what a bush hog
is. What more do you want to know?


Just listen to the thing.
