Booker T. & The Mg's
And Now!
All analog process from the original master tapes. Cut by Kevin Gray. Long out of print 1966 release. 'And Now!' is the
first to feature long-term bassist Duck Dunn, who helps create a nightclub feel that alternates between some of their
most aggressive recordings and most sultry. Limited orange vinyl pressing. Jackpot is honored to be releasing four
mighty reissues from Booker T. & The MG's during their hot streak from 1965-1968. Likely, the most well known,
respected, and beloved instrumental band of all time, their recorded output has also become one of the most cherished
ever put to tape. Initially serving as the house band for Stax Records, organist Booker T. Jones, guitarist Steve
Cropper, bassist Lewie Steinberg (later replaced by bass monster Donald 'Duck' Dunn), and drummer Al Jackson Jr. were
instrumental in creating the "Memphis Sound." They recorded the basic tracks for well over a hundred records, including
backing some of the greatest artists of all time: Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Rufus Thomas, and Albert King, all the while
breaking barriers as one of the South's first integrated acts. But they became legendary powerhouses of their own making
when they started recording for themselves. Throughout their history, they racked up Top 40 hits, had their songs
covered by artists as diverse as The Ventures, Count Basie, and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, were inducted into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement award, and continued being the band of choice in
collaborations with legends such as Bob Dylan & Neil Young.
