Booker T & Mg'S

Note By Note Booker T & Mg'S

The record is a companion piece for Jones' new memoir, Time is Tight, and shows the artist celebratorily revisiting important songs from his colorful and prolific career. In addition to "Cause I Love You"--which was the iconic Stax Records' first big hit--the tracklist includes tunes like "Born Under A Bad Sign," Ottis Redding's "These Arms of Mine" and more.

Jones' career took off when he became an important figure in the early days of Stax Records. A young musical prodigy, he was still in high school when he co-wrote the classic hit, "Green Onions," for his group Booker T. & The M. G.'s. These early successes are defined by a certain energy, punch and passion that Jones brings, and those qualities are alive and well in his new record.
