Original Album Series in Bloomington, MN

This
Rhino
U.K. 2012 box set rounds up the prime of
Booker T. & the MG's
, the five albums they released between 1962 and 1968:
Green Onions
,
Soul Dressing
And Now!
Hip Hug-Her
, and
Doin' Our Thing
. Often,
are seen as nothing more than a singles act but these records illustrate just how deeply their gifts ran, as they are all deeply funky, gritty, soulful records that are easy to enjoy. And when they're collected in this convenient little box, they're even easier -- and cheaper -- to appreciate. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
