Howdy,

As I was eagerly placing my order for the new Budos Band CD this week, it
got me to thinking of other great intrumental bands which inevitably led me
to Booker T and the MGs. I did a bit of prowling on YouTube and was
surprised at how many videos there are of them out there. I selected "Time
Is Tight" this week because the sound quality is good and because you can
see what groovy hep-cats they were back in the day. :-) And speaking of Big
In Europw, the Hacienda Brothers have released a live recording from a
performance in Oslow Norway called Music for Ranch and Town. Normally I am
not a big fan of live CDs, but the sound recording on this show was as close
to perfect as I've ever heard. If it wasn't for the audience applause you'd
almost think it was a studio album. And the Hacienda Brothers covered Johnny
Cash's "House of the Blues" in addition to all their great originals.

As always, the full rotation play list is
