Booker T. Jones is about to release a solo album without his longtime band The MG's. It's called Potato Hole, and it's coming out on the awesome Anti- label, which has also put out albums by Mavis Staples and Tom Waits, among others. Best of all: his backing band is The Drive-By Truckers, but Neil Young is playing lead guitar (payback for Booker playing on a Neil solo tour in the '90s and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's 2001-2002 tour)! It will be mostly originals, but also will have covers of the Truckers' "Space City," Tom Waits' "Get Behind The Mule" and OutKast's "Hey Ya." Really.Tuesday, January 20, 2009
