Their Best
Booker T & The MG's were the legendary session musicians behind Stax Records' most enduring records, a band of Memphis studio pros whose instrumental grooves defined the sound of soul music. Booker T Jones on organ, Steve Cropper on guitar, Donald 'Duck' Dunn on bass, and Al Jackson Jr. on drums created some of the most immediately recognizable sounds in recorded music. This 1997 compilation gathers their most essential recordings, tracks that became templates for funk and soul grooves worldwide. The music swings with infectious ease, built on Jones's churning organ work and Jackson's precise, swinging drums. These performances showcase the band's ability to lock into grooves that influenced everyone from hip-hop producers to modern funk acts. An essential entry point into one of music's most crucial rhythm sections.
