Booker T. Jones: The Road From Memphis

May 4, 2017 By Richard C. Young

Originally posted May 16, 2011.

Booker T. Jones is my #1 all-time R&B artist. I own every one of his 45s, including the ultra-rare “Green Onions” on Volt. If you are not familiar with Booker T. & the M.G.’s, you can go to my R&B Juke Box Top 100 for some great samples. Booker T. & the M.G.’s is #9 & #40 on my list. Two little known and rare CDs include Booker T. & the M.G.’s/The Mar-Keys Stax Instrumentals and Soul Men. The Stax Profile Series offers a 15-cut CD with the band’s best cuts, including “Chinese Checkers.” On the vinyl front, you want to turn to Sundazed Music of Coxsackie, NY. Sundazed offers a great series of a 180-gram premium vinyl pressings, including “Green Onions,” “Hip-Hugger,” “And now,” and “Soul Dressing.”

Here’s a great write-up and interview in the Wall Street Journal this week regarding the release of the Booker’s new CD, “The Road From Memphis.”

Warm Regards,
Dick Young

Booker T. Jones: A Son of Memphis Salutes His City -WSJ
“Late-night television owes Booker T. Jones a debt of gratitude. Better known as Booker T. of Booker T. & the M.G.’s, Mr. Jones is the father of the rock-soul organ. His swaggering riffs in the 1960s inspired the keyboard sound now ubiquitous on shows like “Saturday Night Live” and “The Late Show with David Letterman.”

Surprisingly soft-spoken, Mr. Jones has just released “The Road From Memphis,” a rousing, funky CD that looks back at his life’s emotional high points. On the album, he’s backed by The Roots—the “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” house band.“
