This was $5.00 and came from the Infinity Record Show.
Again, due to the new job, I am going to shoot thru this. Also, you should know by now that I like keep Saturday short.
This was the 9th album from the Stax house band, Booker T and the MG’s. Released in 1969, this also featured the classic lineup of Book T Jones, Steve Cropper, Donald “Duck” Dunn, and Al Jackson Jr. Jackson would die in 1975, being shot in the back by an intruder in his home. Dunn would pass in 2012 after playing his fifth double bill with Cropper in Tokyo. Both Jones and Cropper are active and tour.

This is a great album with tons of highpoints including “Lady Madonna”, “The Horse”, “Light My Fire”, “Sing a Simple Song” and “It’s Your Thing”. Basically, it would be easier to list what isn’t good on this album.
For a sample, I went with the band’s take on “Mrs Robinson” and “Michelle”. These were my two favorite tunes.
Top Rated album. Happy Saturday.
