The Very Best of Booker T. & The MG's Reviews

(Las Vegas, Nevada) - See all my reviews This review is from: The Very Best of Booker T. & The MG's (Audio CD) No hyperbole...fact: Booker T. and the MGs were the best backing group in the history of soul music. There were those who came awful close (the Motown house band in the Benny Benjamin-James Jamerson era; the Muscle Shoals crowds anchored by bassist David Hood and drummer extraordinaire Roger Hawkins), but none quite equaled the MGs elemental, deceptively simple fire. (Not to mention having, in Al Jackson, Jr., the most identifiable backbeat in Southern soul - and to think he got that unmistakeable snare thump by just loosening his snares a little and letting his overweight billfold sit on the top skin when he struck it!) They'd have had the rep even if they hadn't gone along when a Stax employee, hearing them jam after a session on the riff which became "Green Onions," suggested they cut the number on their own.What they did with "Green Onions," of course, remains almost superhuman. They started by jamming on a slowed-up variation of the classic John Lee Hooker...

Quite the opposite. There isn't a bad selection on the entire CD. Wish all CD's were the same. I still like "Green Onions", but like "Sweet Potato" even more. 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful Music for outdoor fun. Music for indoor fun., By A Customer This review is from: The Very Best of Booker T. & The MG's (Audio CD) "Green Onions", "Hip-hug Her" "Time is Tight" are underrated immortal instrumentals. Every Memphis/Muscle Shoals music fan knows of guitarist Steve Cropper's contribution to funky soul and muddy water pop-blues--his Atlantic session work, his Stax work. Take a good listen to the bass and drum work by "Duck" Dunn and Al Jackson Jr. "Simply irresistible", as Robert Palmer would say. This 'Very Best of..' collection has the unique ability to add to that good feeling you get while picnicing, beaching or groovin' on a Sunday afternoon. This is good music done well. |
