Released as part of
Rhino
's celebration of
Stax
's 60th anniversary,
Stax Classics
is part of a long line of
Booker T. & the M.G.'s
compilations. It's not as extensive as either 2006's double-disc set
The Definitive Soul Collection
or 2007's 20-track single-disc
The Very Best of Booker T. and the M.G.'s
, but it's a tight 12 songs containing the group's biggest hits -- "Green Onions," "Hip Hug-Her," "Time Is Tight," "Groovin'," "Soul Limbo" -- along with such excellent singles as "Mo' Onions" and "Boot-Leg," so it's a good choice for listeners who don't want to take a deep dive into the soul combo's catalog. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
