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 \u0026amp; Dave, Rufus Thomas, and Albert King, all the while breaking barriers as one of the South’s first integrated acts. 1966’s 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. No stranger to being in the U.S. and U.K. music charts (in both the Hot 100 \u0026amp; R\u0026amp;B categories), the jazzy first single off the record, “My Sweet Potato,” landed them yet another top 40 placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Sweet Potato\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJericho\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Matter What Shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne Mint Julep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn The Midnight Hour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummertime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking In the Coal Mine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon’t Mess Up A Good Thing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaboo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoul Jam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSentimental Journey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eAvailable on Desktop \u0026amp; Mobile\u003c\/em\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/1QXe4UGXCivLJZIyhPiVhg?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"BOOKER T. \u0026 THE MG’S","offers":[{"title":"LP \/ Orange","offer_id":42489599721663,"sku":"JPR099-OR","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP \/ Blue","offer_id":42498328953023,"sku":"JPR099-BL","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/JPR099-BOOKERT._THEMG_S-AndNow.jpg?v=1701212589"},{"product_id":"soul-dressing-mono-booker-t-and-the-mgs-lp","title":"Soul Dressing","description":"\u003ch3\u003e** This is a BACKORDER item.
