Green Onions

This sounds like something that Feathers McGraw from Wallace and Gromit would enjoy. And that Chicken/Penguin has great taste. A really catchy and enjoyable instrumental R&B/soul record, with a distinctive Hammond organ sound front and centre. It would perfectly soundtrack various daily tasks like doing the washing up, spreading toast or walking through a town or city. I'm glad they didn't try to put vocals on it, as any words matching the unashamedly joyous, and cool vibe would probably be really cheesy and ruin it. It's a perfect example of what it is and still sounds fresh almost 60 years after it was recorded. 5/5.

Green onions is the best candidate to be turned into an 8-bit game soundtrack.

This is an enthusiastic “ok”. The title track throws thunderbolts down on everything around it, but the record is consistently pleasant. It just makes me wish they’d stretched to write more of their own compositions, rather than this bunch of covers that slide smoothly down amnesia alley. Gives me the feeling of walking into a sleazy bar in an old movie, which I like.

Imagine recording this when you’re 17? Like that’s all you need to know about this record. This record is so smooth and for 1962 was largely new landscape for soul and R&B. You can put this on at any time and you know you’re going to have a good time. Favorite song: Green Onions Least favorite: honestly didn’t have one

Reading about it prior to listening, the title track is called out as one of the most recognized instrumental tracks... No idea. Hearing it the penny drops immediately, and I'm reminded again fo the depth and breadth of my ignorance.

Ok for a couple of songs (green onions) but the one trick of organ & guitar becomes tired very quickly

I can remember about 15 facts and one of those facts is that Steve Cropper was in The Blues Brothers. And that's all I knew about Steve Cropper. I expected his obit to read, "Former Blues Brother Steve Cropper died". I'm not proud of any of this. Some other useless facts I know: * Rod Stewart really likes soccer. * In Smokey and the Bandit, The Bandit's real name was Bo. * Steve Busby threw two no hitters for the Kansas City Royals. * Joe Walsh was on campus during the Kent State Tragedy. * Jason Patric is Jackie Gleason's grandson. * There's no instrumental album quite like this one.

Hammond organ. Lovely for a track or two but a whole album............

Apart from the first track, I felt like I was at the enchantment under the sea dance before Marty McFly spices things up.

Opening track is iconic, repeated again slightly different later on. The rest of it is funky instrumental versions of other people's songs. Do I like it? Yeah, it's great background music with a bit of oomph and fun, but it's not really anything more than that. Tough to give a high score based on one original song and a load of instrumental cover versions really, opening track almost drags it up to a 3 but doesn't manage it. 2/5.

I’ve always loved the title track, Green Onions. To me it’s always been more than just a fun song to hear in movies, but just a really good listen on its own merits. I like the tone of the guitar and organ, and I really enjoy drums like this, where they are both assertive in the mix and also really simple. The only real problem I have with this record is that it is instrumental. Plenty of the songs hold up without vocals, but I felt a few tracks would have been improved by them. Also, is there a music genre whose meaning has evolved more than R&B? My personal enjoyment: 4/5 Did it belong on this list: 4.5/5

I didn't have a bad time, but I have to admit that this sounds like a bunch of dude noodling around in a garage. Maybe it was revolutionary for its time, but in a modern context this just feels like laid back covers of mostly existing songs.

might be an interesting historical document, but was it really essential that I hear a Hammond organ noodling its way aimlessly around an Acker Bilk tune? doesn't even have the cricket theme on this one. hence, 2 stars given although perhaps a bit stingy

I'm only familiar with the title track that I'm aware of, but I really love it so this should be fun! Green Onions - an excellent blues/funk sound. 9/10 Rinky Dink - easy listening with some familiar chord progressions. 7/10 I Got a Woman - Great Memphis Blues twist on this familiar classic I've heard by Elvis and Ray Charles. I'm not sure which is the original, but this instrumental is fun. 8/10 Mo' Onions - A variation on "Green Onions" that's more bluesy. I like it a lot! 9/10 Twist & Shout - Another instrumental cover. Pleasant but nothing spectacular. 7/10 Behave Yourself - Truly Memphis Blues, feels like walking down Beale Street! 9/10 Stranger on the Shore - Feels like a 50s slow dance hit. 7/10 Lonely Avenue - Typical blues sound, the organ is a bit more creative on this one. 8/10 The One Who Really Loves You - Heavy organ with nice guitar riffs. 7/10 You Can't Sit Down - Nice funk/blues track 8/10 A Woman, A Lover, A Friend - Slow typical blues track. 7/10 Comin' Home Baby - Nice cover with just the right blues flavor. If you like the blues, you'll enjoy this album. Just be warned it's more organ driven than guitar. It's an interesting twist on blues though. I don't know if it beats out other blues artists as far as a must hear, but it's a fun listen.

What can I say? Funky 60s Instrumentals? One of the best organ song ever written?

All our classic in the genre. Booker T. remains a badass mother fucker.

All instrumental. A lot of tunes are extremely recognizable based on their usage in movies or remixes of other songs. Overall boring album though.

This one's an all timer. The drumming of Al Jackson Jr. is standout for me. Steve Cropper passed away early this month, guitar master. If you're spitballing ideas for a book about 1001 albums you should listen to in your lifetime, and this record isn't in the first 25 albums thrown out for consideration, there's probably going to be something wrong with your list.

WTF, how influential can an album be?

Yes. This is the shit I’m here for. Twelve songs in 36 minutes, and the first one is fucking Green Onions. Automatically the coolest on the list.

The cafeteria at work puts green onions in their chicken salad (“scallions”, if you’re nasty…wait… what?) and I don’t mind it, but I also wouldn’t go out my way to add green onion to my chicken salad if I was making it at home, you know what I mean?

Definitely a banger fs. Green onions are cool. I listened to this while eating miso soup with green onions because I thought I was funny.

Classic vibe record, if that makes sense. At a certain point, Twist and Shout started sounding more like REM's Stand. I know they were big fans of 60s rock and pop so I would not at all be surprised if this infected their minds.

Amusement park remixes of popular hits... Opening track is obviously embedded in our musical cultural identity. But aside from being groovy background music I don't know what purpose this music serves.

4/2 Some classic instrumentals on here, replayability is low for me. Standout Tracks: Green Onions, Mo' Onions, Behave Yourself, Stranger On The Shore, Comin' Home Baby

Elevator music. The original elevator music, but still elevator music.

I love Booker T & the MGs and everything they stand for. This album is fantastic soul, but also more than just that. It put Stax on the map. Even more important, I have so much love and respect for the band for having both black and white musicians during a time and place when it was not only unusual but often unacceptable. And potentially dangerous. Musically, it just grooves. Booker T’s organ has a distinctive sound that just sets a mood. Mellow, but moving. Mixed with the guitar of Steve Cropper and it is a huge win.

Packed with recognizable riffs, licks and grooves. Organ and guitar pack a punch on every track in the album. Groovy, funky, soulful, and jazzy. Great album to put on in the background while cooking, cleaning or just chillin. Favorite Tracks: - Green Onions - Mo’ Onions - Stranger On the Shore - Comin’ Home Baby Rating 8/10

Wait, THAT song is called green onions?! Wtf? What other produce songs am I missing out on? Rinky dink has that little hook I've heard everywhere in surf rock -- is this the first album to do it? It may be background-y. but felt foundational. 4* Highlights: green onions, rinky dink

Мало нам було купа естрадних альбомів з одними й тими самими піснями, тепер треба ще їх завернути в стильні аранжування. Самі аранжування мені дуже подобаються. Люблю цей звук органу. Він тут дуже стильовий. Гітарна робота теж чудова. До цього чув лише однойменну пісню. Приклад інструментального хіта.

Pure simplicity itself. No drum fills, no special effects, no lyrics. Just good grooves and inspired playing.

Kaikki meistä on varmasti kokeneet sen tunteen, että on olemassa biisi, jolle ei tiedä nimeä mutta tunnistaa sen heti? No, Green Onions on mulle sitä. Letkeä hyvän mielen touhulevy, jonka tahdissa arkiaskareet sujahti hupsis vaan. Äärimmäisen taitavaa pimputusta ja pamputusta, syystä listalla. Laitan varmasti toistekin soimaan.

Nimi antoi odottaa räppiä, levyn kansi jotain kehnoa bootlegiä ja levyn nimi jotain humoristista. Luulin et on joku sipuliteemainen huumoriräppipläjäys. No voitte kuvitella ilmeeni kun yhtäkkiä olinkin Dressman-mainoksessa. Mit vit. Tää bängää isosti. Tää on jotenkin sellainen levy et haluaisin kuunnella uudestaan vaikka hengailun taustamusana, mut eka biisi pitää ehkä skipata, jotta ihmiset ei luule, et laitan levyn meeminä soimaan? Mut heckin’ kova!

Just a delightful instrumental album.

Wow, had no idea that I already knew them without consciously knowing them via the Green Onions song. Love this!!

What the heck, this freaking ROCKED!!!! If someone explained the concept of this album to me verbally, I might have rolled my eyes. I was immediately on board though, and the fact that it's mostly an album of covers only makes this even more silly and endearing. I felt like I was either surfing or wandering around with Napolean Dynamite the whole time, thanks to the synth organ. Gotta love a synth organ. What a precious little gem.

Green Onions is just pure fun, it's funky. It somehow manages to hold your attention without a single vocal in sight: you hardly even notice they're missing. The grooves are insane, and every track has an easygoing vibe. By the end, though, you've more or less heard everything the album has to offer. Fortunately, Booker T. & the M.G.'s know exactly when to call it a day, keeping the record short enough that it never overstays its welcome.

Rate: 8/10.

Wow. This is the third time round for this album on my multiple projects. From completely unknown to in regular rotation in a few short months. And I am not complaining. First time I was so taken with it I gave it a 5. But then I had curbed my enthusiasm by the second time round and gave it a 4. And I do think that’s right. It too easily becomes background music to deserve a 5. But I DO LIKE having it in the background. 4 Boolean: True - thank you 1089 list!

A pretty refreshing listen! Lots of recognizable songs on here that I didn’t realize were from the same group. Likes: Green Onions; Rinky Dink; Mo Onions; One Who Really Loves You

Je m'attendais à mieux, même si c'était quand même rigolo

Fun and Funky and really different. I quite enjoyed this one. I know it came out in the 60’s but it had such a 70’s vibe. It was like an early precursor to 70’s music.

I didn't find myself missing the lyrics at all, the music filled every song well. If you need something peppy, funky and entertaining while you do a menial task (for me, it was sifting through my work inbox), this is just the thing for you. Each song brings the same energy, but each is packaged in a different font. I would definitely listen to this again. Favorite Tracks: Green Onions You Can't Sit Down Mo' Onions Behave Yourself

loved the vibes on this

So the song Green Onions may be the greatest instrumental of all time. The rest of the album is decent but not great.

Green Onions is the coolest song ever in my opinion. 3.5 for the album

I’d listened to the song Green Onions many times, but never the album. This was a lovely Monday morning listen for me and the perfect way to ease back into work after a weeks leave. A must listen for me, for sure.

Funky and fun! I will always love the sound of an organ, I think partly because it reminds me of mucking around on my grandfather’s as a kid. This was just the definition of easy listening. (4.5 stars)

Green Onions... one of the greatest songs ever. Otherwise, some pretty fun instrumental covers. Funky jams, Booker T killing it on the organ at the tender age of 17. We may have not had Stax Records without this, soooo let's give credit where it is due.

Loved this!

This album rules. Booker T, Steve Cropper, Duck Dunn. Hell yeah.

Great to hear the Stax house band in their own instrumental album. A unique sound, Steve Cropper taking a big role and the muscle shoals studio all in one. Probably recorded in a day! Fantastic stuff.

I don't which is better: Booker T.'s M3, or Steve Cropper's clean guitar playing. I loved listening to both. How could you listen to this in the 60s and not want to learn to play the organ? Booker T. made the it sound so cool. Liked Songs Added: Green Onions I Got A Woman Lonely Avenue

Green Onions The title track is, obviously, fantastic, a classic bit of 60s 12 bar soul-cool, the irresistible combination of the organ line surging and swelling, Steve Cropper’s guitar stabbing and biting and Al Jackson’s excellent drumming and the steady, metronomic bass. It’s so good it naturally casts a large shadow over everything else, not least the This Guitar Can’t Keep From Crying of Mo’ Onions to the While My Guitar Gently Weeps of Green Onions. Occasionally the organ/keys verge into Take Hart territory, especially on Rinky Dink and Stranger on the Shore, belying the early 60s-ness of it, but it's still an incredibly enjoyable album, I like to imagine people dancing along to it in an early 60s house party in a small flat in Marylebone in 1963. Despite the odd dated element, I think it still endures, probably due to the rock solid quality of the rhythm section and Steve Cropper’s super playing on his Tele, with strong elements of country and blues added to the r’n’b feel of it all. I’ll go 4, it’s a great listen and I’ll definitely be back for mo’ 🧅🧅🧅🧅 Playlist submission: Green Onions

4 stars, love Stax, RIP Steve Cropper. Really good pieces ahead of its time, but this band is at its best backing vocalists, Otis, Wilson, et. al.

This is will never not be cool. Obviously "Green Onions" is one of the most iconic songs ever made, but I love the whole album. The grit on Steve Cropper's Telecaster is something that just can't seem to be replicated. Has there ever been a band that is so tight? The key here is really the simplicity-- not doing too much, serving the song, making something that is bigger than its parts. Nothing is re-invented here, but it's just master session musicians at their peaks.

First thing's first... Memphis music is cool by definition! One thing this album historically has going for it is that it is the first official Stax lable Lp, a Memphis studio and record label that would help define R&B in the 60s and 70s. Booker T in the MGs were basically the Stax Studio house band, backing the likes of Sam & Dave, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Albert King and more... and even in the '80s Aykroyd and Belushi used Steve Cropper and "Duck" Dunn (though Dunn had not joined by this album) to help nail the sound of 60's R&B. So is this album essential? I'm actually going to say yes only because of what it represents to R&B from that point on. Quite honestly, they really had some great originals and some great singles, but I've always found the albums themselves having a fair amount of filler. This one is no exception. Honestly pretty much everything on the first side other than "Twist and Shout" I really enjoyed. The second side is primarily filler, though there are a couple of tracks I noted on that side as well. Two of the originals, the hit title track, and "Behave Yourself", are truly the highlights of this album as well as the two Ray Charles covers "I've Got A Woman", and "Lonely Nights". Both of those really have a Memphis Jam feel to them and I absolutely enjoyed that. The other original, "Mo' Onions", is obviously a quick call back of the big hit. Unfortunately like most music sequels it never compares to the original. I also liked to a lesser extent "Rinky Dink" and "Comin' Home Baby". The rest, though, is filler city. 7.9/10 ★★★½

Stax house band? Yes, please. And also, you kind of see why they were a house band.

What a combo - Steve Cropper on guitar and Booker T Jones on keyboards. Their take on Twist and Shout made me envision that a high school jazz wonderkid snuck into a Baptist church on a Saturday evening and was entertained his friends!

Just groove after groove. Steve Cropper remains one of the most underrated OG guitar heroes.

Please sir, may I have less organ?

Please sir can I have some mo’

An integrated instrumental band back in the days when being an instrumental band was common and being integrated wasn't. Now being an instrumental band is uncommon and being integrated is... better but not as common as it should be. A great example of early-60s groove. Original compositions are much more interesting than the covers (although plagiarising yourself three tracks after your signature song is a choice).

pure early 60's sound. you can see where outcast got some of it's music. very influential.

Brooker T. & the M.G.'s released their single 'Green Onions' and the people loved it so they went back and recorded it again but completely different 11 more times, put it on an album and made a surprisingly impactful album. It not only smoothly blends the still very young Soul with established Rythmn & Blues and does all of it without saying a single word but they also gave Soul a whole new light and how there can be instrumental Soul without it being Soul Jazz. The legendary title track 'Green Onions' starts off the album with a classic Electric Blues song that smoothly goes through its parts. I absolutely understand how the song became such a classic because it is a very playful and fun song while not taking too much attention away from you. The song features rhythmic playing and a well added organ which was already established in the Soul and especially Soul Jazz scene even if this is far from being latter. The song is definitely great but it doesn't do enough for me so that I actually love it. Rather it's very nice and beautiful but I don't care for it too much. Another very catchy track is 'Rinky-Dink' which plays with much more Soul aspects. It's definitely a good song but I do think that some organ parts are a little bit annoying after a while and the overall structuring is a little bit too broken up in between to actually flow well enough the whole way through and the second part just doesn't hit well enough anymore. Also, I am not a big fan of how the songs just tune out instead of ending properly. 'I Got a Woman' might be the best achievement they got on this album. It's fast paced and energetic and easily the catchiest song on the entire album. I get why the title track gets all the attention but this should maybe get an equal amount of love. I personally think this is probably the closest they ever got to making a perfect track although some parts here and there are a little bit too rushed or left alone which do hurt the song especially in the second half enough for to "just" view this as a great track. The themes of the first track return on 'Mo' Onions' which is just the same song but a little bit different with a little more Blues added. It's definitely not a bad song but it does feel like a bad cover song. It isn't of course but as a continuation it does feel very, very average. After the Beatles version, this next track might be the second best known version of 'Twist and Shout'. It's very much a R&B and Soul song and the melody is nice to hear in that organ style but it is far from a good or interesting song. Maybe I am biased but it feels dull and not played around with enough. It gets stale the second it starts to repeat itself in the first few moments. It's a pretty boring song overall. The purest Soul song on the album is without a doubt 'Behave Yourself', it strips away all the Blues and makes a calm and relaxed organ Soul song to close off the albums first half with. It is not a bad song the songwriting especially when more instruments join at a few points do make this much more interesting but I think that the song should've just extended on these additions instead of going right back. Overall it again, feels a little bit dull and boring after a while. 'Stranger on the Shore' starts the second side of the album with the same melancholia the first half ended. This is not a song to start anything with, it should be a closer at best. The song is just tiring and sometimes even annoying when it takes too long to end properly. Not a good song by any means. 'Lonely Avenue' starts off way more promising but falls in the same trap of overindulging melancholia and coolness which ends up making the track boring and simply not enjoyable. They can make really fun and playful songs but when they don't do that it automatically makes it tiring and basic. Luckily, 'One Who Really Loves You' comes in to save the album from this boring spiral of doom. It returns with a fun and playful tune with a much better organ playstyle than on the other songs. It is genuinely a fun and actually really good song. The song that feels the most like Blues is definitely 'I Can't Sit Down'. It starts off by sounding like a Muddy Waters tune but replaces the voice with the organ. It does sound very silly and it is but it works at least a little bit. The song isn't the greatest but it is without a doubt an above average track with multiple very enjoyable moments. The mellow style of 'A Woman, a Lover, a Friend' is done much better in comparison to other songs on here but it still gets a little bit stale and old after a while and turns a good starting song quickly into a pretty average one but at least it doesn't get as boring (or even bad) as some tracks before did. The album closes with 'Comin' Home Baby', another quite mellow but this time much more dull sounding one. It gets annoying very quickly as the rhytmn guitar and the bass play in a very halting style that isn't played around well enough with the organ to make it work at any point. The song is genuinely bad because of it. It is not pleasent at all to listen to it especially as it is supposed to end the album. favourites: Green Onions, I Got a Woman least favourites: Comin' Home Baby, Stranger on the Shore Rating: decent to strong 5 https://rateyourmusic.com/~Emil_ph for more ratings, reviews and takes

Considering this album came out in 1962--when the Motown label was only 3 years old and albums were nothing more than collections of singles--Booker T & co. made a good set of singles to put on the hi-fi and dance around the living room. Is this on par with What's Going On? No, of course not. But considering the evolution that R&B and pop music went through in 8-10 years and the expectations listeners put on an album, this is a collection of some early R&B better than most from 1962. Besides Booker T.'s relentlessly soulful organ, guitarist Steve Cropper--as described by Keith Richards--is "Perfect, man." I love Cropper for all that he doesn't do. He's never there to show off, just to support the groove.

Green onions are okay, but I think I prefer a more balanced diet.

The title track is iconic - of course everyone knows it (even if they can't immediately recall its name - I couldn't for the longest time). As for the rest of the album though, I imagine discussions in the studio went something along these lines: "Alright, we've got one banger we can market this with. How about we fill the rest of the album with dull as dishwater, lift music-esque covers of rock and roll songs? We can make a killing doing that because who cares? People will lap it up as long as we've got one decent song." "The kids aren't that stupid though, right? Surely we've got a bit more in our locker to make this stand test of time?" "Hmmm fair point. Suppose we could tweak "Green Onions" slightly, slow it down a bit and call it "Mo' Onions" so it sounds like we tried. Then we'll call it a day and lull everyone into submission by just doing whatever the fuck else on the other nine tracks. You with me?" "Yeah I'm down, what about the artwork though?" "On the off chance that any divvies out there will think they've popped into Morrisons instead, we'll make it look like a supermarket advertising hoarding." "Genius! Some random bloke in 40 years will put this on a shrine and deem it worthy of everyone's time".

spaffed their load with the first song and then descended into old peoples home music.

I am drowning in organ music. I do however enjoy the bass on the album. But the only song I think I will ever listen to again is the titular track. Though I will probably listen to a different version of all of the covers at some point. Just way too much organ to want to listen to these ones again.

This is one of those albums that should be on this list due to its legacy in music and media, but one I didn't like a lot. The title track has been heard several times in the past in movies and on Spotify shuffles and its a good song. Good organ and guitar riffs and solos here and there but got bored of it all very easily.

is this album just to show off the organ? i don't really get it. Aye, green onions is a tune, but the wedding band esqe covers? nah.

Didnt mind this, but way too much organ in the end. Loved Green Onions...who doesnt and there were some good tunes. Thet did kill Twist & Shout though. Listened to once, wont do it again!! 2stars

Classic title track but little else. Several covers, even another version of their same song. Kinda funk, kinda soul, really just background music. Struggled to get through 36 minutes.

Green onions is a famous original composition. The rest of the album is covers of famous songs played at the organ, meh.

2/5 very ungutsy album, nope...

Solid soundtrack to a day of boozin' and chillin'

Almost a three

Used sparingly, a Hammond orgsn can be a thing of musical beauty. This is ugly and awful. Reminds me of the elderly duos who’d for some reason get booked to appear at estate pubs around Shrewsbury and Telford and the like to “entertain”with awful covers. I’ve always hated green onions the track and a whole album of this tripe was unlistenable.

The rock organ has completely lost all appeal to me. Also I prefer chives.

ernie and bert type beat

1/5 - most annoying sound ever. Green Onions is an iconic track, the rest of the album sounds like being trapped in a 1950s fairground torture chamber.

Don't like this one, the instrumentals are nice and I see how they made a basis for many R&B songs, but it's not for me.

I like lyrics and when songs sound different to each other

1/5. At best, it is good elevator music. I understand it didn’t have a lot of competition in 1962 and sure felt ahead of it’s time but at the moment it just feels dated.

samey and boring throughout. I'm sure the players are very talented but this was a slog to get through

Eerste nummer hartstikke bekend, verder.. niet mijn ding

Dat orgeltje..... dat FUCKING orgeltje! Het drijft me tot waanzin! Dit is werkelijk niet te harden.

Not my cup of tea. Sounds way too dated and mild, almost like muzak. Might have been something back in the days, but it didn't age well at all. Maybe if I was 70+ and nostalgic.

Another plain old good time. I’m gonna be a little bit loosey gooey and give this one a 5 as well. This album seems to lay down a lot of musical bones and scraps that other artists have picked up over the years. Maybe because it’s just a lot of covers and 12-bar blues, but lots of riffs, licks, and motifs sounded familiar throughout the record. I don’t feel like chasing all of them down but I’m sure y’all feel the same way. Either way, it puts a smile on your face and a spring in your step. Green Onions (the album) is deceptively layered in its instrumentation, even if it’s mostly just an organ and a guitar in conversation for long stretches. The bass sets a strong foundation to build on and then it’s off to the races. The musical equivalent of running the ball for 3.4 YPC. Simple but effective. 9/10 but we’ll round up to 5 stars Song Notes: - The opening organ riff that takes us into the title track's 12-bar blues needs no introduction. One of the most recognizable soundbites in music. The Telecaster just SINGS here. - Shoutout to Augie for the assist but the guitar at the end of Stranger On The Shore is straight up Coldplay’s Adventure of a Lifetime - Don't know if a chromatic descent is really a proprietary thing, but the lick in Comin' Home Baby reminds me of Sublime's Date Rape intro - That Hammond organ is truly 60's sound embodied. Booker T. Jones turns it into a living, breathing thing on this album. Gooooood shit. Favorites: - Green Onions - Rinky Dink - Mo’ Onions - Stranger On The Shore - One Who Really Loves You - Comin’ Home Baby

Amazing stuff!!!!!!!!

Killer jazzy rock instrumentals from 1962. 1962! Beautifully rough sounding for 1962!

So good.

Really nice instrumental album, haven’t had many of these that don’t just feel like electronic white noise

Instant Classic

I am a sucker for that Stax sound.

Excellent music! No vocals make it even better.
