 OK background music

This isn't the Booker T music we grew up with. If you crank up half the songs it sounds like a bad live Neil Young album with Crazy Horse noodling interminably. The rest, as my wife put it, sounds like the background music on the Weather Channel. It's not bad, and I kind of like the last couple tracks, but it's not generally very interesting.
I gambled on the enthusiastic reviews here and on the people making the music. It wasn't a good bet. I'd recommend going for some old Booker T and/or some quality Neil Young instead. |

Great album by Booker T. If you're fans of his work with the MGs or other Stax stuff, you will enjoy this one. A good mix of a contemporary feel with the old school soul this man is known for. Yes, the band is different, but it's not like he picked up just anybody who was available. Everybody on this album is a successful and known musician in his own right.
Cover songs are interesting and probably an attempt to drum up interest from the new folks coming up, since most won't know who Booker T is or all the great music he has put out. I'm cool with this for this reason. Gotta speak to the people in the language they understand. If "Hey Ya" is that language, more power to him.
If you like the Stax stuff, you will enjoy this. A quality album from a true soul legend. |

 Makes me really miss Steve Cropper. . . .

| OK -- so this is an overall pretty good CD. However, this Heavy Fuzzy getar stuff -- though I love it in other bands like Blue Cheer and Crazy Horse -- don't think this is the best setting for the original Mr. T. That clean, economical Cropper chopper just sounds so much better . . . miss the subtlety, beauty, grace and power of that less is more thing. |

| Booker T, Neil Young, and the Drive-By Truckers?! If you are a fan of any of these artists you will love this album. Get this now. |

| I had the honor to see Booker T. play this past year and he ROCKED IT!!! I was hoping to get that same vibe when I purchased this album, instead I found it a bit boring and over-produced. The album is not RAW enough in my opinion. |
