The Profile

American multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer, best known as the organist of Booker T. & the M.G.’s and for the hit “Green Onions.” His solo career includes albums such as Potato Hole (2009) and The Road from Memphis (2011).

Founding member of Booker T. & the M.G.’s, the Stax Records house band; signature instrumental “Green Onions” (1962); ongoing solo work spanning soul, R&B and funk.

One heroic review digs into The Road From Memphis (2011): polished soul/funk/R&B with grooves to spare, a standout cover of “Crazy,” and a Lou Reed cameo on “The Bronx.” The write-up frames it as sleek, MG’s-styled fun and shouts out a vinyl+CD edition. Publicly, Booker T. Jones is the American organist of Booker T. & the M.G.’s behind “Green Onions,” with later solo highlights like Potato Hole and The Road from Memphis.
