Product Description

[Note: This product is an authorized CD-R and is manufactured on demand]

Amazon.com

These four gentlemen may have been the most important players in all of soul music. They were an interracial group before it was popular or even accepted. They formed the core of the house backing-band at Stax Records, wrote classic soul songs, and discovered and produced artists at Stax. And as this CD makes very clear, they recorded great songs in their own right. All instrumentals, the MGs wrote their own classics-"Green Onions," "Time Is Tight"--and interpreted others--"Groovin'," "Hang 'Em High." The contemporary sound and feel of these 20- and 30-year old tracks proves what visionaries they were. --Robert Gordon

I bought this "verified purchase" copy as a gift for someone who was talking about "that Hammond B-3 sound." That someone, my brother-in-law, used to be the lead signer in an R & B band.

I have owned a copy of this work for years. It is on my short rack, along with some Gregorian Chants, Stones, Bob James, Haydn, ...

With no lyrics, this is tight, tight wallpaper.

I can hardly wait 'til Christmas!

"Green Onions," "Hip-Hug-Her," "Summertime," "Groovin'". Enough said? R&B was never better than this and likely never will be again. BT & the MG's, forty years going, are still FANTASTIC! Give me this over any R&B since. Donald Dunn makes me want to pick up the bass again, but thanks to him I know better than to do that. I'd just be wasting my time. And why bother anyway? I'd rather spend the time listening to this musical manna from Heaven!

Booker T's best is better than anyone else's. Besides the classic "Green Onions" everything within this selection is prime, specially "Be My Lady."

Reviewed in Canada on March 24, 2018

Instrumental R'n'B does not get its due these days. These songs transcend time and do not date. Turn it up. This is an early career retrospective...1962 to 1968, so all the hits aren't here, but I would not let it stop you from purchasing it, especially at a bargain price.

CD:THE BEST OF BOOKER T. & THE MG'S (ジャケット:イラスト/16曲収録)に対するレビュー.
本CDは初期の曲で構成されたベスト盤です."TIC_TAC_TOE""CAN'T BE STILL""BOOT_LEG"のような荒々しく,泥臭いMG'S 又"HIP HUG-HER""SLIM JENKINS' PLACE""GROOVIN'"のような少しクールなMG'S.....どちらも魅力的です. MG'Sの入門編としてお勧め!! (MONO:10曲/STEREO:6曲)

Note:Lewis Steinberg plays bass on tracks1-7. Donald "Duck" Dunn plays bass on tracks8-16

*amazon.co.jpの曲目リストでは15曲になっていますが実際は16曲です.(6曲目に"TERRIBLE THING"と云う曲が入ります)
