A great cut from Otis Redding, a song he co-wrote with Alvertis Isbell and Allen Jones. During a two week studio session in the fall of 1967, Otis recorded a slew of new songs, the most famous being Sittin' On the Dock of the Bay, and none released before his death in a plane crash at Madison, Wisconsin on December 10, 1967.
Hard To Handle was on The Immortal Otis Redding, an album released in June 1968 which also contains a lot of other terrific material from those last recording sessions. I've been going back recently to listen to his recordings and found quite a few lesser known songs that are just wonderful.
