THE
BEST
OF
BOOKER
T.
&
THE
MG'S - on
CD -
The
CD
is new.
As
the
house
band
at
Stax
Records
in
Memphis,
Booker
T.
&
the
MG's
may
have
been
the
single
greatest
factor
in
the
lasting
value
of
that
label's
soul
music
--
not
to
mention
Southern
soul
as
a
whole.
Their
tight,
impeccable
grooves
can
be
heard
on
classic
hits
by
Otis
Redding,
Wilson
Pickett,
Carla
Thomas,
Albert
King,
and
Sam
&
Dave,
just
to
name
the
very
most
prominent
examples.
For
that
reason
alone,
they
would
deserve
their
spot
in
rock
&
roll's
hall
of
fame.
But
in
addition
to
their
formidable
skills
as
a
house
band,
on
their
own
they
were
one
of
the
top
instrumental
outfits
of
the
rock
era,
cutting
classics
like
"Green
Onions,"
"Time
Is
Tight,"
and
"Hang
'em
High."
