"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."
