Ok – it's going to be Green Onions – or Time is tight – and these are "monster" tracks. Authentically American music at its very best. But…Be My Lady is just sooo funky! YouTube link |

Green Onions, though I must admit I prefer the Blues Bros. version. |

Plus the hundreds (thousands?) of Stax recordings where they were the house band. |

That was a more….fluid setup, so not always the full line-up, plus Cropper might have also been doing the production side as well a bit of co-writing to get the song into shape. But…well….why not? As long as it's not Stax tracks where the Mar-keys were the backing band….'cos that's a whole 'nother poll suggestion  |

Theme from "Hang 'Em High". |

For those who like the Blues Brothers versions, that's no coincidence. Dunn and Cropper were the backbone of the Blues Brothers Band. What amuses me are the bands in the camp of "18 months in the studio" era.
Then we have Sinatra and all the studios of the Stax and Motown periods who made superior music in an afternoon.
I'll put a Stax "album" up against a prog rock masterpiece any day. |

Cool but Grant Green and Lou Donaldson are funkier |

Green Onions for me, please! |

I'll put a Stax "album" up against a prog rock masterpiece any day. You're not wrong. There might be one or two exceptions to the rule – but Stax was a powerhouse of good music. The modern equivalent is Dap-Tone. There it's the Dap-Kings who are the "house band" and they are also an awesome powerhouse of music. I'm happy to buy an album released on Dap-Tone unheard – maybe I don't even know the band – because it just can't be bad. So far – no regrets. |

Oh – and since if this ever runs () someone (probably a cricket fan) will say "what, no Soul Limbo?" here's a suggestion for Soul Limbo ! |
