Booker T. & The
MG's - McLemore Ave (1970) FLAC 24/88 HDTracks
 
 

"Though Booker T. &
the MG's had always been more of a singles act, they made a series of respectable long-players throughout the 1960s as
well, culminating in the fine Melting Pot from 1971. Prior to recording that album, however, they assembled this Beatles
homage, tackling an entire album from the Liverpool quartet. Rather than stroll down the Abbey Road they pay tribute to,
however, organist Booker T. Jones, guitarist Steve Cropper, bassist Donald "Duck" Dunn, and drummer Al
Jackson, Jr. strut down McLemore Avenue, the funky Memphis location of the equally legendary Stax studios. Most of the
songs are arranged in a fluid medley style, maintaining the suite-like feel that unified the original. The results often
veer toward a sort of funky muzak. Imagine, if you will, the sort of tunes you might have heard piped into the Stax
offices or renditions offered up by a late-night lounge act. Following the introductory pairing of "Golden
Slumbers" and "Carry That Weight," the quartet flexes its combined muscle on "The End," a
performance complete with soloing from Cropper and heated organ bursts from Jones. It's all over far too quickly,
however, lapsing into George Harrison's "Something" and bringing up the main problem with McLemore Avenue. As
the backing band behind countless Stax classics, rhythm, rather than melody, has always been the MG's' strong suit.
Thankfully, the Abbey Road material balances the schmaltzy sentimentality of tracks like "Golden Slumbers" and
"Here Comes the Sun" with the tougher grooves of "The End" and "Come Together": songs that
lend themselves much better to the MG's' approach. The quartet may have been better off stretching out on a few of these
tracks, rather than rendering the bulk of the album. As it is, McLemore Avenue remains a curio for Booker T. and Beatles
fans alike." -- Nathan Bush

"This is an oddball, clearly a product of the times, and constantly
walking the fine line between totally inspired and totally elevator. Their rendition of "Something" approaches
a level of George Bensonish inpiration. The large instrumental suite near the end of the album (track 4) sometimes
catches fire, but often, you get the impression that BT&MGs are only doing this because they're (1) short on
material or (2) because they can. The latter is reason, in and of itself, to check it out." 

"An
odd but great album. Releases like this are common now in this era of "tribute" albums, but in the late 60's
something like this was uncommon. Booker T. Jones (organ, piano) and Donald "Duck" Dunn (bass) were big
Beatles fans and cooked up the idea of covering the Beatles' "Abbey Road" album in the MG's laid-back funky
Memphis soul style. It sounds like a bad idea, but it works. The stripped-down, propulsive MG's arrangements bring an
edge to these familiar songs that makes them sound brand new. This isn't the best MG's album, but it's close."
