Our Take
Our Take
Ah, Booker T and the M.G.'s, where do we even begin with this absolute gem of an album. "Green Onions" is a timeless classic that has been gracing our ears since 1962, and let me tell you, it still slaps harder than ever.
From the iconic opening riff of the title track to the smooth grooves of "Mo' Onions", this album is a masterclass in instrumental R&B. Booker T's organ playing is nothing short of mesmerising, weaving its way through each track with a soulful prowess that few can match.
The M.G.'s themselves are absolute legends, effortlessly blending together to create a sound that is as cohesive as it is infectious. The tight-knit rhythm section of Steve Cropper, Lewie Steinberg, and Al Jackson Jr. provide the perfect backbone for Booker T to work his magic, creating a sonic landscape that is both vibrant and dynamic.
Tracks like "Behave Yourself" showcase the band's ability to switch between moods with ease, while "Lonely Avenue" brings a melancholic depth that is truly captivating. And of course, who can forget the sheer coolness of "Green Onions", a song that has become synonymous with the era in which it was born.
Overall, "Green Onions" is a true masterpiece that deserves a place in every music lover's collection. Booker T and the M.G.'s have crafted an album that is as fresh and exciting today as it was over half a century ago. So do yourself a favour and treat your ears to this absolute delight of a record. You won't regret it. Trust us.
