Soul Sauce

Bobby Manuel joined Stax Records in the late 1960s where he quickly became a jack-of-all trades working as a session guitarist, recording engineer, mixer, songwriter, producer, and touring band leader. He stayed with the label until it folded in 1975, after which he and Stax co-founder Jim Stewart opened Daily Planet studio in Memphis for the purpose of making independent records together.

But first and foremost, Bobby was and is a guitarist. You've heard his contributions to hits by Elvis Presley, Isaac Hayes, Al Green, Albert King, Little Milton, Billy Eckstine, Rufus Thomas, The MGs, Luther Ingram, The Bar-Kays, Leon Russell, John Mayall, Anne Peebles, Mavis Staples, and Eddie Floyd. His producer credits include Shirley Brown, Rufus Thomas, Madlads, Mac Rice, Rance Allen and Rick Dees (Bobby produced Rick's Number One classic, "Disco Duck").

After years of adding luster and light to the music of so many other great artists, Bobby's Colleagues finally prevailed upon him to record his own album. The result, Soul Sauce showcases twelve spectacular songs crafted with such emotion and sensitivity that it could only have come from the heart. "SOULSAUCE" should appeal to a wide demo across many formats.
