Booker T. Jones - 2009 Potato Hole
Release date : April 21st 2007
With Booker T. and the MGs he led one of the first-ever integrated groups to soul immortality. As a producer, he has helmed sessions for million sellers. On April 21st, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Booker T will write the
boldest, most dramatic chapter of his fifty year career with the release of his searing new album Potato Hole on Anti- Records.
With backing from the Drive-By Truckers and guitar contributions from Neil Young on nine of the album’s ten tracks, Potato Hole is the rawest, funkiest music Booker T has recorded since his archetypal hit “Green Onions.” Booker T plays organ, acoustic and electric guitar on Potato Hole and wrote seven of the albums songs, with one original by Truckers guitarist Mike Cooley, and covers of Tom Waits’ “Get Behind The Mule” and Outkast’s “Hey Ya” completing the set. Potato Hole was recorded last fall in Georgia and California and produced by Booker T and Rob Schnapf.
“Their three-guitar approach appealed to me,” Booker T told USA Today. Make that five, on occasion: Jones added guitar parts on some tracks, and Neil Young played throughout. “He adds that special thing that only he can do.”
Booker T will tour extensively in support of Potato Hole. A Jazzfest performance with the Drive-By Truckers has already been confirmed, with other festival dates to be announced soon.
Booker T was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 with his group The MGs. In 2007 he earned a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. His production credits include Bill Withers’ debut album “Just As I Am,” and Willie Nelson’s “Stardust.”
