"Green Onions" soul guru Booker T. Jones is at work on a new album that finds Neil Young and the Drive-By Truckers backing him. This is Jones' first solo album in 20 years and is expected to hit shelves in early 2009. At this point details are sketchy, some reports claiming the album to be all instrumental while other sources suggest they are looking for guest vocalists.
This isn't the first time Young and Jones have worked together. In 2002, Booker T. + The MGs served as Young's band on his Are You Passionate album, and now Young is returning the favor
Steve Cropper, Donald "Duck" Dunn, and the late great Al Jackson Jr (RIP). This could be REAL nice 8-) Saw them in ATL back in early 90's with Jason and the Scorchers, Fabulous Thunderbirds, at MacDill airforce base..... :o 8-)

Booker T and the MG's are one of the greatest bands ever. I got to see them in Memphis a few years ago and they still rock.
This record is going to be insane.
