Booker T. Jones' historic life
in music has brought him international fame, awards (he's a three-time Grammy winner and Rock & Roll Hall of
Famer), and iconic status as one of the architects of American soul music. With his new album The Road
From Memphis due May 10 on Anti- Records, Jones traces his journey from his hometown of Memphis, TN
to the world stage. The album follows Jones' 2009 Anti- release Potato Hole which won the Grammy for
"Best Pop Instrumental Album."
Produced by Jones with The Roots' ?uestlove and Rob Schnapf
(Beck, Elliot Smith), Memphis was recorded by Daptone Records mastermind Gabriel Roth with
backing by The Roots. Guest vocalists include Matt Berninger of the National and Sharon Jones
on "Representing Memphis," Yim Yames of My Morning Jacket on "Progress" and Lou Reed on
"The Bronx." The album also features a rare vocal from Jones himself offering a first-hand look at his hometown on
"Down in Memphis." Legendary motor-city guitarist Dennis Coffey contributes to the album as well.
