Reviews
-
Probably Booker T's best effort with their brand of funky R&B very interesting and unique variety mix - completely enjoyable - front to back. Not sure why this one isn't sold off the shelves to collectors. Booker T plays lead with his infectious Hammond B3 and interplays with guitar and bass with some trumpet, sax and vocal background with a driving rhythm. Top shelf.
