From The Vault #1
Cigarettes and Coffee by Otis Redding

Sure it might be a little cliché to pick a song like Cigarettes and Coffee for the inaugural From The Vault but its hard to ignore the utter pure emotion evoked by Otis’ amazing, famously powerful vocals. Funnily enough, it’s a perfectly appropriate song for melancholic cigarettes and coffee at 3am. It’s pleading and frank. You can almost believe from this track alone, that Otis’ felt more in his tragically short life than most of us ever will.
