    "Hard to Handle" is a 1968 song written by American soul singer Otis Redding along with Al Bell and Allen Jones. Originally recorded by Redding, it was released in 1968 as the B-side to "Amen" (shortly after the singer's sudden death in 1967). The song also appears on the 1968 album The Immortal Otis Redding. Redding's version reached number 38 on the Billboard R&B chart and number 51 on the pop chart.[2]

    American rock band the Black Crowes covered the song for their 1990 debut album, Shake Your Money Maker, reaching number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 with their rendition.

    Good to see the Otis credit here. Patti Drew did a kick arse version in 1968 which can be heard on Soul Shots LP/CD. Tony Joe White later covered this live. Nice work on this cover.

    Hey all - You might have noticed, the collab has been rearranged again, and remixed as well. Everything is a little louder now. Thanks to Mrflat for submitting his track with a boosted solo. Now it really sounds right, IMO. The current levels I set are just a rough idea. Anyone can feel free to submit a new DAW mix to satisfy your own ears. Otherwise, I'd say this collab is finished. Of course, tudan will ultimately decide when he feels it's completed, but I think I've done my best to help you all look and sound absolutely awesome. The credit goes to you players, and Gevonovich who totally nailed this vocal. I am often invited to mix collabs, so I hope I can be of service again in the future.

    I couldn't resist, one more publish without BT, and some minor timing and level tweaks. Looks and sounds amazing, all! Glad to help with finalizing this. Hoping you're all good with it as it is now.

    @Heather Diaz: Perfect for the collab, and very appropriate change of lyrics. All I did was tweak the track timing very slightly. Perfect fit, IMO. Looking forward to your next one!

    @tudan : That's exactly what I told Mrflat about his solo, but raising that track level will raise everything in that track, and we only want to raise the solo. I could easily boost the solo audio using my home DAW, but I'm no good at syncing the edited audio back to the video. I don't want to screw that up, so I left the solo low. Perhaps he will have an opinion on this.
