moj Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Steve Cropper interview from 2008. His unpretentious story of the iconic Green Onions. It was a group composition, not solely composed by Booker T. and Duck Dunn wasn't in the group at the time. [video:youtube] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuelBLupowitz Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Great to hear Cropper discuss this classic. In Booker T's memoir, he also talks enthusastically about how the "chank" guitar part glued the record together. I got the sense from that book that while there's not the level of animosity that's grown between some great musical collaborators, Booker T and Steve Cropper have a complicated relationship. Still, you can't argue with the music. Quote Samuel B. Lupowitz Musician. Songwriter. Food Enthusiast. Bad Pun Aficionado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABECK Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Very cool story. Originally I thought "man, what a time - you can record something on a Tuesday and have it on air a day later!" Then I remembered we can do it almost instantaneously now! It's just there are so many competing channels of distribution. Too many! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
