    Fresh, musical and fun with a blues slant
  

*by L***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 24, 2013*

I've had to take the time to carefully listen to Booker T's new CD as my first play led to a sense of despair. I heard echoes of the "Road to Memphis" CD which to my ears was just plain noise and with this new CD thought that I might have to conclude that my 50 year love affair with Booker T. - Mr Jones' music (as Bill Withers sang) was coming to an end.On reflection and repeated plays (once I got past the opening bars that made me think the CD was defective), I now appreciate this is a very good, if not excellent, CD with a lot of energy and excellent musicianship.In fact of the NEW releases I've bought this year (not the numerous remastered reissues) - this is my favorite. Mr. Jones is to be credited with the fact that 50 years after recording his first tracks for Stax in Memphis - he returns to the new - and finally revitalized Stax label - as musically relevant as he was then.The music is good to great- the track by Kori Withers, Bill's daughter, is among the latter, reinforcing her great YouTube performances on Netherlands Radio 6 [ suggesting it's only a matter of time before she has her own CD - hopeful with her father involved in some way. "Fun" is precisely that and "All Over the Place" has shades of "Shaft" throughout. The big question of course is whether this is really "a Booker T. CD" to his long time fans? From an organ/songwriting/producing viewpoint it obviously is.But taking a blindfold test - how many of us would say "that's a new Booker T. CD?" Few I would imagine other than to note that someone's playing the B-3 like Booker T. There are the more classic organ dominated tracks, e.g., "Father Son Blues", Austin City Blues" but these are a lot less subtle in style than Booker's playing on the last real Booker T. CD 
  
That's the Way It Should Be







  
  
     with Duck Dunn and Steve Cropper in 1994. But it is a vast (and I mean vast) improvement over his last CD 
  
The Road From Memphis







  
  
     where Questlove's unique drumming style - using trash cans of the type regularly turned over by Tom in Tom and Jerry cartoons - instead of a drum set - still rings painfully in my ears.I'm sure there are a large number of old school Booker T. fans (including me) who'd love a 2013 reprise of old times with a set of tracks similar to 
  
Evergreen







  
  
    , "Time Is Tight", "Melting Pot", "Sarasota Sunset"  - even "Lulu's Back In Town" from 
  
Be Kind Rewind







  
  
     with Booker T firmly in front of a MGs-type line up instead of the youngsters here.Some years ago on his website, Mr, Jones indicated he was working on a series of songs focused around blues legend Bessie Smith, entitled naturally enough "Empress of The Blues" - I don't know whether this was to be a musical or a soundtrack - and had also shared some works in progress in 2006 - "High Jam" and "Melt Jam" - as mp3 downloads. Nothing more of either project has been heard of since. It would be nice think that a 2014 outing on Stax would see a return to his more mellow roots perhaps based on these works in progress. In the interim, maybe he will be producing and playing on a Kori Withers CD in the same style as his organ-heavy mp3 outing with Jolie Holland 
  
What A Wonderful World







  
  
     - Let's hope so.

    Beautiful Blues
  

*by G***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 22, 2013*

I'm not sure how to begin this review. I could choose the superfluous amount of adjectives to describe the emotion one gets from listening to this recording. I could say the collaborations are stellar. I could strongly encourage you to take a listen. But, I prefer to be selfish! This is like a secret only I want to know, a recording that I wish I had been in the recording studio as they laid these tracks down. The energy, sensuality and the fun simply exudes from this set. I don't want to share! I want to keep it all to myself. But, I cannot because this was meant to be shared. So, you're in on the secret if you want to be, if not then this soon to be Grammy nominated album will be something you'll regret you missed, even if this isn't your kind of music. That says a lot about you as there's something on here for everyone. Booker T and crew sounded the alarm, please do not remain calm as you exit with your headphones to enjoy the most beautiful Blues I've heard in quite sine time.

    Sound The Alarm - Vinyl does not include Austin City Blues
  

*by R***Z on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 26, 2013*

Received this album on vinyl on its release date of June 25, 2013.  Although the description in Amazon shows 12 tracks, the vinyl version does NOT include "Austin City Blues," an instrumental featuring Gary Clark, Jr. The vinyl edition does include a "free" download of all the tracks - including Austin City Blues - but the mp3 version is at 160 kbps which is regarded as medium quality.  This album, including the missing track, is available in 44.1 kHz/24 bit digital .flac on the HD Tracks website for slightly less ($17.98 vs $18.00) than the vinyl version on Amazon.As for the music, those tracks on which Booker T.'s talents are prominently displayed (less than half the tracks on the album) are excellent.  The remainder - all vocals with various artists - are, for the most part less interesting.  It is too bad "Austin City" isn't on the vinyl; it's among the best tracks on the album.
