As a guitarist, A & R man, engineer, producer, songwriting partner of Otis Redding, Eddie Floyd and a dozen others and founding member of both Booker T. and the MG’s and The Mar-Keys, Cropper was literally involved in virtually every record issued by Stax from the fall of 1961 through year end 1970.Such credits assure Cropper of an honored place in the soul music hall of fame. As co-writer of (Sittin’ On) The Dock Of The Bay, Knock On Wood and In The Midnight Hour, Cropper is in line for immortality. Born on October 21, 1941 on a farm near Dora, Missouri, Steve Cropper moved with his family to Memphis at the age of nine. In Missouri he had been exposed to a wealth of country music and little else. In his adopted home, his thirsty ears amply drank of the fountain of Gospel, R & B and nascent Rock and Roll that thundered over the airwaves of both black and white Memphis radio. Bit by the music bug, Cropper acquired his first mail order guitar at the age of 14. Personal guitar heroes included Tal Farlow, Chuck Berry, Jimmy Reed, Chet Atkins, Lowman Pauling of the Five Royales and Billy Butler of the Bill Doggett band.

    Live from the Artists Den #207 “Booker T. and the Drive-By Truckers” Recorded April 23, 2009, The Ogden Museum of Southern Art, New Orleans, LA Booker T. Jones is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame keyboardist for Booker T. & the MG’s, which played on dozens of R&B classics for Stax Records. He released his first solo album in two decades in April 2009 – Potato Hole , featuring Neil Young and southern rockers the Drive- By Truckers (one of the most respected musical acts today – both as an independent group and as a backing band), which The New York Times hailed as “more pithy and forceful than ever.” Of Bettye LaVette , The New York Times said, “Classic soul singing doesn’t get any better.” The 19 th -century Patrick F. Taylor Library at The Ogden Museum of Southern Art, University of New Orleans, is currently closed to the public while being restored to its original grandeur. But its doors were opened to a select few on a warm April night for a concert as unique as the setting: Booker T. and the Drive-by Truckers with special guest Bettye LaVette. Under the sculpted oak beams of the library’s vaulted ceiling, rich soul music kept the crowd on its feet late into the night. Song List *All songs feature the Drive-By Truckers “Green Onions” with Booker T. “Potato Hole” with Booker T. “I Still Want to Be Your Baby (Take Me Like I Am)” with Bettye LaVette “Jealousy” with Bettye LaVette “I Guess We Shouldn’t Talk About That Now” with Bettye LaVette “Pound It Out” with Booker T.

  • Testimony of Booker T. Jones Recording Artist, Songwriter
    Testimony of Booker T. Jones Recording Artist, Songwriter, Producer on "Music Policy Issues: A Perspective from Those Who Make It" before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary January 26, 2018 Chairman Goodlatte, Ranking Member Nadler, and members of the committee. Thank you for allowing me to testify before you today, along with my esteemed fellow creators and my friend Neil Portnow. My name is Booker T. Jones and I’m an artist, songwriter and producer who has worked professionally in music for nearly 60 years. That seems like a long time, and on some days it certainly feels that way. But many aspects of our music laws date back to an even earlier time – literally from the player piano era. So I am gratified that this Committee is making the effort to update music licensing laws for the 21st century. In my career, I’ve been privileged to record some of the most iconic R&B and Soul records that defined the genre, working with artists like Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, Bill Withers, Sam & Dave, and of course my own band Booker T. & the MG’s, which included legendary guitarist Steve Cropper. Our instrumental single “Green Onions” was one of the biggest hits of 1962. It received a GRAMMY Hall of Fame Award in 1999 and was added to the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress in 2012. That track has been called “iconic,” “ground-breaking,” even, “classic.” But some music services have a less dignified name for it: “Pre-72.” That’s right, because of a quirk in the law, many of our most timeless treasures, including “Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay,” “Soul Man,” and “Time Is Tight,” are dismissed and disrespected as not meriting compensation to the featured artists, non-featured artists, and producers.

  • Great Instrumental
    I grew up during the heyday of pop instrumental music in the 1950s and the 1960s (there were 30 instrumental hits in the Top 40 in 1961), and I would listen to the radio faithfully for the 30 seconds before the hourly news when they would play instrumentals (however the first 45’s I bought were vocals: Bimbo by Jim Reeves in 1954, The Ballad of Davy Crockett with the flip side Farewell by Fess Parker in 1955, and Sixteen Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford in 1956). I also listened to my Dad’s 78s, and my favorite song of those was Raymond Scott’s Powerhouse from 1937 (which was often heard in Warner Bros. cartoons). and to records that my friends had, and that their parents had - artists such as: (This is not meant to be a complete or definitive list of the music of these artists, or a definitive list of instrumental artists – rather it is just a list of many of the instrumental songs I heard and loved when I was growing up - therefore this list just goes up to the early 1970s): Floyd Cramer (Last Date and On the Rebound and Let’s Go and Hot Pepper and Flip Flop & Bob and The First Hurt and Fancy Pants and Shrum and All Keyed Up and San Antonio Rose and [These Are] The Young Years and What’d I Say and Java and How High the Moon), The Ventures (Walk Don't Run and Walk Don’t Run ‘64 and Perfidia and Ram-Bunk-Shush and Diamond Head and The Cruel Sea and Hawaii Five-O and Oh Pretty Woman and Go and Pedal Pusher and Tall Cool One and Slaughter on Tenth Avenue), Booker T.

  • Booker T. Jones B3 for Days
    For Immediate Release 18 April 2017 Contact: Jodi Joseph Director of Communications 413.664.4481 x8113 [email protected] Booker T. Jones B3 for days NORTH ADAMS, MASSACHUSETTS — From his early days as a Stax Records session player and with the M.G.’s, to his resurgence, Booker T. Jones has remained an ambassador of Memphis soul music for nearly 50 years. A Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, Booker visits MASS MoCA on Saturday, July 22, at 8pm, for a night of Green Onions, soon-to-be-classics, and all your favorites. Jones developed an interest in jazz as a young boy growing up in Memphis, Tennessee. A gig delivering newspapers led him to the front porch of pianist Phineas Newborn, where he would often listen to the jazz great practice piano. As a teenager, Jones immersed himself in the local music scene, sneaking into local R&B nightclubs and becoming a regular at Satellite Record Shop and recording studio. It was through this connection that Jones teamed up with then-emerging (now-legendary) Stax Records to form their house band, Booker T. & the M.G.’s. A huge success during their time, Booker T. & the M.G.’s toured the U.K. and Europe and accompanied many artists including the legendary Otis Redding. A promising solo career relocated Jones to Los Angeles. He went on to record two albums with his then- wife, Priscilla Coolidge-Jones, while continuing to produce hits for other notable artists, including Bill Withers and Willie Nelson. In 1978, Jones released Try and Love, his first solo album, and continued recording, releasing two more records, I Want You in 1981, and The Runaway in 1989, while also collaborating with artists that included Neil Young and Ray Charles, among others.

  • Memphis Electronic Music
    MEMPHIS ELECTRONIC MUSIC FINDING SOUL IN THE AGE OF LIFELESS MACHINES MARCUS TATE WHAT IS ELECTRONIC MUSIC? • “Electronic Music is a medium of expression, not a specific type of music.” – Physics and the Sound of Music (Rigden, 266) • Electronic Music deals with tools used to make music. • Many people have the misconception that electronic music is like EDM or dubstep. ELECTRONICS AS TOOLS FOR MAKING ART • There are some opposing opinions that electronics cannot be considered tools for making art, such as computers and electronics are not capable of making something as human as art. • However, most of the tools for art that we already have come from things that originally made for art; someone invented ways to create art from it. • “…the saxophone as ‘a piece of metal capable of making sounds’.” – Andrew Raffo Dewar, performer at Memphis Concrete Festival (Richard Grooms, The Improvisor) MEMPHIS AND ELECTRONIC MUSIC: RELIGION • Within the Bible Belt, there are a significant amount of churches, all of which need music and an organ to play this music. • Many churches couldn’t afford a pipe organ or couldn’t fit the size of the pipe organ. This demand for the pipe organ sound inspired the creation of electronic organs, which offer a similar sound to the pipe organ through circuitry at a much more affordable price and portable size. • “The forerunner of the modern electronic organs was the Hammond organ introduced in 1935.” -The Musician’s Guide to Acoustics (Campbell 503) MEMPHIS AND ELECTRONIC MUSIC: THE HAMMOND ORGAN • “The Hammond was originally aimed at the churches that couldn’t afford a pipe organ, so it found its way into blues, rock, and Motown by way of gospel music.

    HOUSE RESOLUTION 220 By Hardaway A RESOLUTION to recognize and celebrate the 50th anniversary of Stax Records. WHEREAS, Memphis is recognized throughout the world as the true home of sweet soul music, and visitors to this great State share with its citizens a common love and respect for the soulful sounds of Tennessee; and WHEREAS, it is thus most appropriate for this General Assembly to honor and recognize the 50th anniversary of the legendary Stax Records, which, founded in Memphis, is the most famous soul music record label with Tennessee roots; and WHEREAS, in 1959, former country fiddler Jim Stewart, and his sister, Estelle Axton, founded what would, in 1961, become Stax Records; the label's first hit was Cause I Love You by Rufus and Carla Thomas; and WHEREAS, second only to Motown in popular soul music sales and influence during its heyday, Stax Records was nevertheless first in gritty, raw, stripped-down soul; featuring artists like Otis Redding, Rufus & Carla Thomas, Sam & Dave, William Bell, The Bar-Kays, and Isaac Hayes, and with house band Booker T. and the MGs and horn section The Memphis Horns, Stax placed over 167 hit songs in the top 100 on the pop charts and an astounding 243 hits in the top 100 of the R & B charts over the course of fifteen years; and WHEREAS, the influence of the Stax sound can still be felt over thirty years later in so many musical genres; songs like Green Onions by Booker T. and the MGs, (Sittin' on the) Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding, Soul Man and Hold On, I'm Comin' by Sam and Dave, I'll Take
