Green Onions
Booker T. & The MG's

A mixed bag for me... I love the title song! Yes it's 12-bar blues but it has this unique sound with the organ and a very catchy groove. But - the album has only three original songs, the other nine are covers. The originals are the best by far, IMO. The covers would have been great fun at dance parties in the early sixties but aren't my thing (I find them all worse than the originals). Because this album is a bit of a one trick pony, and it's mostly covers, I can't give it more than a 3 even though this is an influential album with an interesting sound.
