Making "The Road From Memphis"

Biography

In Booker T. Jones, the seed was planted early. Not yet a teenager, he was already hauling his stack of newspapers to Phineas Newborn’s front yard where, while folding them for his after-school delivery route, he could listen to the jazz great practice piano. With those notes ringing in his head, he’d set out into the neighborhood, picking up the sound of the streets, the sound of ... Read more in Amazon's Booker T. & The MG's Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Time is Tight October 6, 2010
By Aj Peia
Format:Audio CD
Ok, first of all Booker T and the MGs is a really great instrumental group that has been around awhile. Their music is absolutely great, and if your old enough, you can remember the original songs in their entire length, noting, what you hear is what you get use to. Therefore, when a song is altered, cut, or just modified, you don't like it, SO, Original songs remastered, such as on this album, is the BEST. If your from the old west....

I'm not a music guru, I just know what I like, and I like this. To me it sounds kinda funky and laid back. Cool music to listen to anytime.

5.0 out of 5 stars bought for my husband.
I ordered this for my husband after he began to play Booker T and the MGs constantly while sitting at his computer. Now it's a necessary part of his auto music.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not what you'd expect
This CD is a compilation of reworked tunes that hit the big time.
Not the original tunes.

Very disappointing. Ripped off by the record label = Stax Records. Read more

Wow. For a minute I thought It was me who just couldnt find the link to click on to tell me what songs are on the albums. Im looking for one particular song to be on there and these goofballs cant figure out that thats important? I give up

Don't be lazy. Look in the mp3 download option - and you'll even get to listen to the samples.
