Reviews
This album gives us a generous helping of greasy funk grooves and a smattering of well-done vocals by guest artists (which include the late, great Sharon Jones) as well as Booker T himself. Booker T’s organ sounds big and meaty. You also get an earful of a close-mic’ed drum kit. The drums could’ve been pulled back a little in the mix, which would’ve improved the balance. Nonetheless, this is a great listen of a modern type of Stax sound.
