Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping out from their daily duties as the impeccable Stax house band, 'And Now!' is a tight, flawlessly grooving collection of instrumental soul and R&B covers. The album relies heavily on the interplay between Steve Cropper's biting, minimalist Telecaster riffs and Booker T. Jones's swirling Hammond M-3 organ. It is a quintessential snapshot of the famous Memphis soul sound in its purest instrumental form.
