"Premiere: Booker T. With Drive-By Truckers and Neil Young: "Warped 
Sister" [Stream]
For Potato Hole, his first solo album in a really, really long time, 
Stax house organist and MGs frontman Booker T. Jones recruited the 
Drive-By Truckers and Neil Young as his backing band. Wisely, they 
don't shoot for the in-the-pocket grooves of the MGs: Very few 
groups, instrumental or otherwise, have ever sounded so 
preternaturally tight. Instead, on "Warped Sister", the scratchy 
guitars churn steadily while the rhythm section chug away reliably. 
Trucker drummer Brad Morgan is crucial here: His beat is unflappable, 
and his cowbell guides the song through its false ending and out the 
other side. Despite the high-profile support players, Booker T. 
clearly takes the lead, opening with gigantic chords before coaxing 
out a surprisingly catchy melody from his organ. He gets so much 
texture and nuance out of his instrument that it sounds like it's 
actually forming words."
