Part of Rhino's thorough DEFINITIVE SOUL series of single-artist R&B anthologies, this is a 30-track retrospective covering the entire career of one of soul music's most important instrumental acts, Booker T. and the MG's. From their smash hit single "Green Onions" through beloved fan favorites like "Jellybread" and "Hip Hug-Her," the combination of organist Booker T. Jones, guitarist Steve Cropper, bassist Donald "Duck" Dunn, and drummer Al Jackson, Jr., defined 1960s soul in general and the sound of Stax Records in particular. (As the Stax house band, Booker T. and the MG's backed nearly every singer on the roster.) Of particular note are the groovy psychedelic soul tracks near the set's end, particularly their outstanding version of "Something" from 1970's MCLEMORE AVENUE, their soul-jazz tribute to the Beatles' ABBEY ROAD.

Photographer: Baron Wolman.

Booker T. & the MG's: Booker T. Washington, Donald "Duck" Dunn, Al Jackson, Steve Cooper.

Audio Remasterers: Dave Schultz; Dan Hersch; Bill Inglot.

Average Rating: (3 out of 5 stars) 3 stars

4 stars Good CD!
The sound quality could probably have been a bit better, but overall this CD is good, came at a good price and in "record" time! Enjoy it very much. Thank you.

2 stars Okay - but nothing new
After many Booker T. and The MGs reissues - it would've been nice if Rhino could've added some tracks from the long deleted Union Ave LP. Everything here is available elsewhere -multiple times. Also, timing is short - 60 minutes or so a CD - could've included the full 8 min version of Melting Pot. There's still room for a definitive antholgy on Booker T. and the M.G's that mines the Atlantic Stax/Fantasy Stax archives - hopefully Rob Bowman will give it another shot and excuse us all the misery of the 3rd CD on the Stax Anthology - who needs Neil Young murdering "Dock of the Bay"?

Johnny Otis 1945-1947 CD  (2002)

Definitive Soul Collection album
CD $18.05  Top 500
Growing up among Afro-Americans in Berkeley, CA, Greek-American Johnny Otis (born John Veliotes) always identified strongly with people of color. Before he had attained the age of 20 he was gigging with black jazz bands throughout the Southwest, and eventually organized an ensemble deliberately patterned after Count Basie's orchestra. This highly charged album ...

While it took a long and torturous five years for the Flamin' Groovies to find their way back to an American record deal with Shake Some Action, a year and a half later the band had a follow-up ready, and while 1978's Flamin' Groovies Now isn't quite as cohesive as the album that preceded it, in many respects the band sounds at once tighter and more relaxed, with some time on the road firming up the rhythm section while giving the songs a bit more room ...

B B King Mr. Blues/Confessin' The Blues CD  (2005) (Import) Remastered; United Kingdom

Definitive Soul Collection CD music
CD $18.79  5 stars Audio Samples
This CD contains B.B. King's first ABC-Paramount studio efforts -- Mr. Blues (1962) and Confessin' the Blues (1965), respectively. While there are inevitable similarities between the projects, offering them back-to-back allows listeners an acute sense of King's rapid maturation and development during what was by all accounts the nexus of the guitarist/vocalist's career. The dozen-song Mr. Blues was a haphazard start for King with the contents taken from three different recording sessions in a 13-month period (March 1, 1962 through April 11, 1963). Based on the results, the ...
