Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

5/5

For me, Green Onions is like the clean, live-band counterpart to Donuts. Dilla chopped our soul into a beautiful, stuttering future, but Booker T. & the M.G.'s played it whole. They took classic blues and rock tunes and didn't just cover them—they injected them with this effortless, cool swagger that makes their versions feel like the originals. It’s that same foundational groove, but polished to a pristine, timeless shine. I put it on and immediately feel cooler.

Tom Waits

3/5

This album is further proof that Tom Waits is endlessly inventive. It’s jagged, skeletal, and fearless—built from clanging percussion, rusted rhythms, and that gravel voice tearing through the noise. Still, for all its brilliance, I’ll admit my bias: I love Waits the crooner. I gravitate to those songs on this record (e.g. Whistle down the Wind). Just not enough of those on this album to push this higher than a 3 for me but I still respect the hell out of it.
