Booker T.'s Warped Sister Up On Pitchfork

Give a listen to a track from Potato Hole, Booker's first solo record in two decades on Pitchfork--click here for their exclusive stream, on which Booker is rocking with the Drive-By Truckers and Neil Young.

As Steven A. Deusner puts it: "Despite the high-profile support players, Booker T. clearly takes the lead, opening with gigantic chords before coaxing out a surprisingly catchy melody from his organ. He gets so much texture and nuance out of his instrument that it sounds like it's actually forming words."

Potato Hole (ANTI- Records) will be available April 21, the same week Booker and the Truckers (as Booker T. and the DBT's) play an Acura Stage set at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. The group's Jazzfest date is preceded by three dates in Australia and an April 18 set at Coachella, and followed by an appearance at Bonnaroo the weekend of June 11 to 14, 2009.
