Floyd's best overall Stax release.

We Say...
Though not blessed with the emphatic vocal energy or range of Otis Redding or Sam Moore, Eddie Floyd was capable of spectacular moments with the right material. He demonstrated that on two exceptional singles, "Knock on Wood" and "I've Never Found a Girl." These two triumphs, plus his explosive vocal on "Big Bird" and above-average performances on several other numbers including the intense "Girl I Love You," make this Floyd's best overall Stax release.

They Say...
A pair of remarkable soul hits, "Knock on Wood" and "I've Never Found a Girl," enabled Eddie Floyd to attain national success in 1968. But the longtime singer and composer, whose roots dated back to the Detroit group the Falcons in the late '50s, was a steady, if not spectacular, performer for many years before and after those two songs. Several of Floyd's finest pieces are compiled on the 25-track CD Rare Stamps, including a wonderful testimonial to Otis Redding, "Big Bird." There are also two super duets with Mavis Staples, "Never Let You Go" and "Ain't That Good," which rank with anything that the label issued.
