This 1968 album found the Memphis instrumental group running through the usual batch of then-current soul hit covers (“La La Means I Love You,” “Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy”), pop tunes (“Eleanor Rigby,” “Foxy Lady”) and hits like “Hang ‘Em High” and the title track in their own trademark style. Most interesting are the tracks where Booker T. switches over to piano and the band suddenly becomes a very jazzy outfit, like “Willow Weep for Me” and “Over Easy.” One of the better albums in their discography.
