R&B icon Booker T. Jones has been releasing music for almost 50 years, and his latest album will drop on May 10 via Anti- Records. Entitled The Road from Memphis, it was produced by the Roots' Questlove and Rob Schnapf, with vocal contributions from the National's Matt Berninger, Sharon Jones, Lou Reed and My Morning Jacket's Jim James. If you're itching to hear what the guest-heavy collection has in store, you're in luck: the entire album is now streaming at Exclaim.ca.
As the press release explains, "The Road from Memphis refers not only to Booker T's journey but to the evolution of the soul music he helped invent as it traveled from Memphis to Detroit, Philadelphia and beyond."
