About this album

Booker T. & The M.G.'s Greatest Hits is a strong snapshot of Stax’s house band at their most concise and influential. Issued in 1970, it gathers the group’s signature blend of soul, R&B and funk, centred on crisp Hammond organ, clipped guitar, locked-in bass and unshowy, irresistible groove. The set highlights why Booker T. & The M.G.'s became one of the defining instrumental acts of Southern soul, with familiar themes such as Hang 'Em High, Soul Limbo and Time Is Tight showing how the band could sound both radio-friendly and deeply rooted in Memphis rhythm. It is an accessible overview of a group whose sound helped shape the Stax identity and wider soul era.
