Booker T. & the M.G.'s – Green Onions

Booker T. & the M.G.'s – Green Onions (1962)

Inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

The definitive instrumental soul album and the foundation of the Stax Records sound. Green Onions represents the birth of the tightest house band in history, blending R&B grooves with effortless jazz cool. It is characterized by Booker T. Jones's growling Hammond M3 organ and Steve Cropper's stinging, economical telecaster guitar. It matters as a blueprint for 60s soul and mod culture. On vinyl, the analog punch of the recording is undeniable; the snap of the snare drum and the swirl of the organ are presented with a tactile realism. This record is tight, funky, and impossibly cool, serving as the perfect soundtrack for any gathering. An essential instrumental masterpiece.
