A different sort of sound for Booker T. Jones, working here not with the MG´s, but with backing from the Drive By Truckers, and a fair bit of guitar from Neil Young!! The album's still heavy on the sorts of organ lines we love in Booker's work stretching back to the early 60´s years at Stax Records, but the guitars are pretty heavy too, and fuzz things up strongly on most numbers, moving the music from Memphis Soul territory towards more of a Southern Rock sound of the spectrum, yet one that's still got a pretty solid, classic feel overall!! The set's almost as if Booker recorded some lost tracks in the early 70´s for Capricorn Records, letting some Allmans sit in and riff heavily alongside his keys, not that that's a bad thing for us at all, but it's a definite change from what you might expect!!
