Stax Records

A new documentary “Stax: Soulsville U.S.A.” is coming to MAX. The doc will focus on the music of that time period and will premiere on MAX on Monday, May 20 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT) with two episodes airing back-to-back, followed by the final two episodes airing back-to-back on Tuesday, May 21 at the same time.

Stax Records was one of the recording industry’s most influential producers of soul music, breaking acts such as Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, Booker T. & the M.G.’s, Sam & Dave, and many more. In just under two decades, the scrappy outsider had grown from a modest family-owned record store and studio in Memphis, TN to a trailblazing global music label. STAX: SOULSVILLE U.S.A. chronicles the audacious group of individuals who dared to make music on their own terms, smashing racial barriers and defining an era and leaving an enduring musical legacy in their wake. Driven by a striking collection of restored and remastered archival performance footage and intimate interviews with key players in the label’s remarkable history, STAX: SOULSVILLE U.S.A. details the unlikely origin story of Stax Records and pays tribute to its complex music library and the legendary artists that emerged from the iconic studio.
