...speaking of Soul Dressing...Booker T & The MG's (Full LP / March, '65).
Really love the 3rd song, Big Train (5:04)

...and the next tune, Jellybread:



and, of course, Green Onions, from '62.

"It's impossible to overstate the importance and impact of this, the band's biggest chart hit, which oozes smokey cool as Steve Cropper's strangled guitar cries and Booker T.'s terse keyboard bursts criss-cross over a framework that prefigures everything from funk to dub. Al Jackson and Lewis Steinberg keep the rhythm firmly in the pocket here..."

If you struggle baby,
It only tightens up...
