Booker
is featured in the New
York Times in the August 6th issue. "...
After going nearly three decades without making a
solo record, Mr.
Jones has suddenly delivered two in the last three years. “Potato
Hole,” a guitar-driven outing with the Drive-By Truckers and his pal
Neil Young, won him a Grammy last year, and now there is the groove-oriented
“Road From Memphis,” whose title refers to the city where Mr. Jones,
66, was born and came of age as a musician. “I’m always
having to compromise, but both those records are snapshots of what’s
been going on inside me, the sounds that have been gestating,” Mr.
Jones, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992,
said in a recent interview in Manhattan." Read

Booker T scored two nominations for the 52d Annual GRAMMY Awards for his April 2009 release Potato Hole, including Best Pop Instrumental Album. The track 'Warped Sister' from the album was nominated for Best Rock Instrumental, competing for that honor with tunes by Jeff Beck, Brad Paisley, Brian Setzer and Steve Vai. Booker previously won a GRAMMY for Best Pop Instrumental in 1994 with the MGs for the song Cruisin', but this marks the first time he has been nominated for a solo record. Potato Hole was Booker T's first new album in nearly two decades. The GRAMMYs will be held January 31, 2010 in Los Angeles and telecast on CBS at 8 PM EST. Booker is also going to perform at the MusiCares Person of the Year Tribute to Neil Young to be held January 29th in Los Angeles. Performers include Jack Black, Jackson Browne, CSN, Elton John, Norah Jones, Dave Matthews, John Mellencamp, Dierks Bentley, Red Hot Chili Peppers, James Taylor, Wilco and many others.

| January 16, 2009 | |||
Click here to check out the USA Today preview on Booker T.'s new record, Potato Hole, out April 21, 2009 on ANTI- Records. The official word: TRAILBLAZING SOUL MAN BOOKER T WRITES MOST AUDACIOUS CHAPTER OF HIS CAREER WITH ANTI- RECORDS DEBUT POTATO HOLE, SET FOR APRIL 21 RELEASE ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAMER IS BACKED BY DRIVE-BY TRUCKERS AND NEIL YOUNG ON FIRST SOLO ALBUM IN TWENTY YEARS JAZZFEST PERFORMANCE CONFIRMED WITH OTHER FESTIVAL DATES FORTHCOMING With Booker T. and the MGs he led one of the first-ever integrated groups to soul immortality. As a producer, he has helmed sessions for million sellers. On April 21st, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Booker T will write the boldest, most dramatic chapter of his fifty year career with the release of his searing new album Potato Hole, on Anti- Records. With backing from the Drive-By Truckers (at left) and guitar contributions from Neil Young on nine of the album's ten tracks, Potato Hole is the rawest, funkiest music Booker T has recorded since his archetypal hit Green Onions. Booker T plays organ, acoustic and electric guitar on Potato Hole and wrote seven of the album's songs. Potato Hole was recorded last fall in Georgia and California and produced by Booker T and Rob Schnapf. Booker T will tour extensively in support of Potato Hole. An April 24 Jazzfest performance with the Drive-By Truckers has already been confirmed, with other festival dates to be announced soon. Booker T was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 with his group The MGs. In 2007 he earned a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. His production credits include Bill Withers' debut album Just As I Am, and Willie Nelson's Stardust.
