【Booker T. Jonesについて】 The Memphis-born Booker T. Jones was honored with induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and a Grammy lifetime achievement award for his genre-defining Hammond B-3 organ work with the renowned Stax Records group Booker T and the MGs alongside guitarist Steve Cropper, bassist Donald “Duck” Dun and Al Jackson Jr. His new solo album, The Road from Memphis, which was released in May on Anti- Records, features cameos by Lou Reed, My Morning Jacket’s Jim James and Sharon Jones. The L.A. Times said, “Jones makes a quietly convincing case that when it comes to soul music, all roads do seem to lead to Memphis.” Booker T., who has collaborated with a who’s-who of popular music greats, including Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Bill Withers, Rufus Thomas, Carla Thomas, Neil Young, Stephen Stills and Willie Nelson, among many others, had a blast playing with Daryl on the show.
“One of the nicest things about performing on Live from Daryl's House is that Daryl has surrounded himself with musicians who can 'hear,’” enthused Booker T. “That is, each one has talent to the extent of being capable of performing as a soloist on his own, not needing to be told the proper notes to sing or play.”

当時、白人3人とBooker T. Jones これも異例なバンドだったと思います。
「Never Found A Girl」の曲の前のダリルの語りが凄い。彼の作曲した多くの名曲のテンプレート(模範)になった曲、彼自身が世界で一番好きな曲と云っちゃうくらい。そんな曲をBookerTJonesが書いたですか?

>「Everyday Will Be Like A Holiday」は、クリスマス時期によく聴いていたので、冬というイメージがしますが、夏に聴いてもいいと思います。
は彼らなりのジョークじゃないでしょうか。いわゆるクリスマスソングにつきものな「Cワード」(宗教的な言葉)がないこの曲、「タイトルをそのまま受けると夏休みの歌にもなるでしょ?」的な感じで。
僕的には「Down In Menphis」よかったなぁー。なんかBookerTJonesの独特の政界がこの曲から広がりだしhます。もちろん「Green Onions」もすっごくディープ。
