Any excuse to post one of Candi Staton's Fame classics is always a good one. Here's one of my favorites by her:

Arthur Alexander is the second studio album by Arthur Alexander, released in 1972.
Review by Mark Deming
...Alexander been out of the public eye for a few years when he scored a deal with Warner Brothers and cut a self-titled album in 1972. Alexander had great faith in the project, which was produced by Tommy Cogbill and featured the cream of the Muscle Shoals studio players, along with songwriting contributions from Dan Penn, Donnie Fritts, and Alexander himself. Sadly, the album flopped in the marketplace, but a listen to the results confirms this was the fault of the promotion men, not the artists; hitting a mid-point between deep Southern soul and country-leaning funk,

Today's #AlternateFridayMusic theme is #Fire. Here's Candi Staton and one of the many great deep soul ballads she recorded at Rick Hall's Fame studios:
Candi Staton: How Can I Put Out the Flame (1970)

This song was issued as the flip side of her version of "Stand By Your Man" (Fame 1472).

Willie Nelson, Phases and Stages, 1974 on Atlantic
This was Nelson’s 17th studio album and second (and last) of the Atlantic era, following Shotgun Willie, produced by Jerry Wexler and recorded at Muscle Shoals in Alabama.
As the listening notes explain, while Nelson disclaimed the autobiographical elements of the record, “when you make . . . the most devastating divorce record of all time – and have been beaten by an ex-wife after she’s sewn you into your sheets – people begin to believe the album is about you and your ex-wives.”
My copy is the 2024 Vinyl Me, Please Essentials edition (E135) on “bloody mary marble” with listening notes by Andrew Winistorfer (who also wrote for the Anthology collection The Story of Willie Nelson) with additional artwork by Mike MItchell.
