Released April 21st on ANTI- Records
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Hammond B-3 mastermind, Booker T. Jones, returned this year with his first album in twenty years. The man whose career took off as a teenager after writing “Green Onions”, released Potato Hole, featuring Southern Rock band, the Drive-By Truckers, as his backing band, as well as Neil Young on most of the tracks. Booker T’s organ work, matched up with the Truckers raw, dirty rock makes for some wonderful instrumental jams. Most of the songs on the album are brand new tracks, but there are some covers like OutKast’s “Hey Ya”, Tom Waits “Get Behind the Mule” and the Truckers “Space City.”
