Not sure who this bass player is with Otis Redding. Google only mentions Duck Dunn.

Keep in mind that a lot of pop-culture and entertainment-industry writers are notoriously lazy, many are stoners mostly there for the party. Accuracy suffers because it's easier to just repeat common wisdom and assumptions than actually chase down who has the actual records of people who were "there in real-time". ...And the readership largely doesn't care as long as it's a cool-sounding story or claim. So Google is an unfortunate echochamber of slipshod "rock history".

I'm guessing it's James Alexander of the Bar-Kays, the only member of the band that was not on the flight that Otis was killed on. Bar-Kays were Otis' main touring band.

A plane crash in Madison, Wisconsin, killed soul singer Otis Redding and members of the Bar-Kays band on this day in 1967 — 54 years ago.

Great shot!

EDIT: Those ballet lessons are paying off. Funnily enough, he sounds a bit vocally like z cross between Roddy Frame, Tony Hadley and Elvis. Quite unexpected.

James Alexander is playing a St. Blues bass. (These were Made in Memphis at the Strings and Things workshop). These were great basses. Here's one I used to have. Foolishly, I sold it...

Sorry. Now back to our regular programming...
