Potato Hole

Rolling Stone - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Jones' sweet, thick Hammond B-3 riffs are spiked with Truckers' roughneck Southern rock and some exceptionally lyrical, focused Young guitar leads." Down Beat - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[W]ith Booker sounding as soulful as ever....This enduring patriarch of the Hammond is smack dab in the middle of riotous hard rock -- and he's having a great time." Billboard - "POTATO HOLE comes loaded with good news for fans of sweet soul music....[T]he guests' reverence for Booker T. is clear..." Uncut - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The key, as ever where Booker T is concerned, is to understand and appreciate his distinctive electric piano as the voice." Paste - "Booker T. has corralled Young and the Drive-By Truckers to back him on the all-instrumental tracks, so you know it's going to be loose, loud, raw and crunchy." Uncut - "Rolling Stone (p.62) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Jones' sweet, thick Hammond B-3 riffs are spiked with Truckers' roughneck Southern rock and some exceptionally lyrical, focused Young guitar leads." Down Beat (p.72) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[W]ith Booker sounding as soulful as ever....This enduring patriarch of the Hammond is smack dab in the middle of riotous hard rock -- and he's having a great time." Uncut - "A joy all the more thrilling for being so unlikely, so unexpected, and so long in coming. It must be heartily hoped that all concern reconvene, and soon"

Legendary blues/R&B instrumentalist Booker T returns after a twenty year absence with 'Potato Hole'. Teaming up with the Drive By Truckers and Neil Young, this is a raw, funky record harking back to Booker's 'Green Onion' days which serves as a reminder of his incredible talent and his contribution to modern music. Produced by Booker T and Rob Schnapf, this effort will please fans immensely.|
