BOOKER T. - Potato Hole

2010 Grammy Winner for Best Pop Instrumental Album!

Hammond B3 alchemist Booker T Jones is one of America's most prolific, distinguished and instantly recognizable musical forces, and the arrival of his new album, Potato Hole, not only reaffirms his greatness, it also reintroduces the neglected all-instrumental format to a noisy, crowded marketplace crying out for precisely the type of soul satisfying pleasure which Jones excels at.

With choice accompaniment by the capable Southern rock visionaries Drive By Truckers and a sound often pushed into overdrive by the volcanic lead guitar of rock & roll legend Neil Young, it is an altogether extraordinary set. Featuring a mixture of newly written songs and a trio of intriguing covers, all recorded in a scant one week's time, Potato Hole captures Booker T at the critical peak of a renewed creative phase in his storied career. "I really feel like I've been opened up again, I've got the creative muse working for me," says Jones. "It's like I have discovered a new method, a little road I can take to open it up, and I'm excited about playing this music."
