I got the Christmas in SoulsVille CD with its two alternate takes of Winter Wonderland by Booker T. & The MG's and Merry Christmas Baby by Otis Redding. I must...
Patrick, I agree with you 100%. This long after the fact, I'm not really sure what artists would have to lose by releasing some of these "artifacts." There...
Some of my favorite tracks in the world include Otis's first take of "Try a Little Tenderness", the original version of "Dreams to Remember", and I prefer the ...
Does anyone have a copy of or have they seen a DVD (or tape) from the 1988 Montreux Jazz festival? I have seen a snippet of it which featured a performance...
I saw a clip on YouTube with Anton Fig on drums, and that could be the '88 fest. I've never heard of it being released. That was with The Blues Brothers Band, ...
Hi. Sorry I haven't been here for a while. My computer went to heaven and I'm just getting back into things. The Memphis Album is currently available...
If you buy through sanity.com (a link from Guy's homepage) the CD delivered to the US is under $30 which is $10 less than amazon.com It also delivers more...
Also, Sony made a 'making of' doco. I've seen brief bits and pieces of it but will see it all at the concerts - Soul Lounge tickets include sound check,...
Just my opinion: While his version of "In The Midnight Hour" is okay in an "American Idol" sort of way, the rest of his vocals on the CD sound like karaoke...
Hello, personally, I would have hoped for some new material from Booker, Steve and Duck with one of their drummers under the MG name instead of a covers album...
I agree, Yannick, I'd love to see a new album by the MGs too. Cover albums and Best Ofs apparently DO sell really well, which is the only reason Guy got to...
Hey everyone. First time posting here, I just found the place and after spending about an hour at work going through old messages I had to join up. I live in...
Just listened to those tracks by your band, they are pretty amazing! I've never heard a band sound so much like the M.G.'s, in fact I've always maintained that...
I am Ok with Alan. We request more recordings by your band, including tunes that the actual MG's never played. Looking in Albert King's repertory would be ...
Patrick, I wasn't aware that the M.G.'s have a new album imminent! Is this true? Have you been chatting to Mr. Cropper again? Anyway, true or not, all the best...
Hi, When I attended the Stax 50th Anniversary Concert after-party this past summer, I had the honor of talking with Steve Cropper. One of the questions I...
John, That's disappointing but very understandable. You would think though that with the amount of garbage released on CD every year that the world and the...
Thanks Alan. If anyone on the group is in Chicago we are playing our first show tomorrow night at Reggie's, although the Hammond will not be there, we still...
That's a shame. What kind of promoting does Cropper want? It's not like any of the original MGs albums were a huge commercial success. But, as distinctive...
