Booker T. & the MG's
This 16-song CD, clocking in at 46 minutes, is the second-best, and the handiest and most easily affordable, compilation available on Booker T. & the MG's. It's not remotely as comprehensive as Fantasy Records' three-CD set (although this disc does have two tracks, "Booker-Loo" and "Slum Baby," that don't appear on the triple-CD set) but is more ...

by
Booker T. & The MG's
It's impossible to imagine Southern soul existing at all without the powerful input of Booker T. & the MG's, one of the grittiest and most precise rhythm sections in the history of pop music. The MGs were the house band for Stax Records and its imprints Volt and Chalice, and played on virtually everything the label released, backing Otis Redding, ...

Booker T. & the MG's
A three-CD, 65-song box set that includes all their hits from 1962 through 1971, in addition to numerous LP tracks and failed singles; the third disc is devoted entirely to previously unreleased live material (most from 1992-94) and rarities. Greatest-hits compilations will serve the needs of all but intense Booker T. and Stax fans. However, if ...

The Best of Booker T. & the MG's [Stax]
(1986)
more music like this
by
Booker T. & the MG's
Somewhat confusingly, this disc is titled identically to a CD on Atlantic that concentrates on their earlier material. This 17-cut disc draws from 1967-1971, and includes three of their four Top 20 pop hits: "Soul Limbo," "Hang 'em High," and "Time Is Tight." This perhaps lacks a bit of the edge of their mid-'60s recordings, concentrating on ...

by
Booker T. & the MG's
This 1968 album found the Memphis instrumental group running through the usual batch of then-current soul hit covers ("La La Means I Love You," "Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy"), pop tunes ("Eleanor Rigby," "Foxy Lady") and hits like "Hang 'Em High" and the title track in their own trademark style. Most interesting are the tracks where Booker T. ...

Reggae Cowboys
How weird is this? A group of Canadian musicians form a reggae band and fill their debut album with songs about cowboys, outlaws, and lawmen. Then again, the Reggae Cowboys do hail from south of the border -- no, not the U.S., but the Caribbean, and like most of their compatriots, these five West Indians were raised on Westerns. However, these ...

This is a nice cross-section of instrumentals that did well on the R&B charts in the 1960s, with several of them crossing over to pop success. A nice mixture of well-known hits (Slim Harpo's "Baby, Scratch My Back," King Curtis' "Memphis Soul Stew" and "Soul Twist," Ramsey Lewis' "The In Crowd," Booker T. and the MGs' "Hang 'Em High," King Curtis ...

Dominic Frontiere
Dominic Frontiere's music from Ted Post's Hang 'em High came out of the cross-currents of Clint Eastwood's early career as a motion picture star. As the score for Eastwood's first domestically produced Western feature, done in the wake of the Sergio Leone Man With No Name trilogy, the makers wanted something similar to Ennio Morricone's music from ...

The Complete Stax-Volt Soul Singles, Vol. 2: 1968-1971

more music like this
by
Various Artists
The first Stax-Volt box was a monolith, standing as the definitive document of the labels and, therefore, gritty Southern soul. Its sequel, The Complete Stax-Volt Soul Singles, Vol. 2: 1968-1971 is considerably more problematic. Covering only four years compared to its predecessor, which showcased nine years, Vol. 2 contains 216 tracks, including ...

Clement Dodd's Studio One is absolute ground zero for modern Jamaican music, and there's no denying that the sturdy rhythm tracks that were created at Studio One during its 1960s and 1970s peak were funky. Jamaican funky, that is, which isn't quite the same thing as funk. It's an important distinction, because listeners drawn to this collection ...
