Recorded live at Studios 301 in Sydney in front of a live studio audience, Stax of Blues was a one take session, all made possible by the talents of an incredible band featuring Ray Beadle (guitar & vocals), Adam Pringle (guitar), Declan Kelly (drums), Rowan Lane (bass), Lachy Doley (organ & piano), Pat Powell (guest vocals), Matt Keegan - (saxophone), Angus Gomm - (trumpet) and James Greening (trombone).
