King Curtis, Plays The Great Memphis Hits   (1967)
Wednesday's lunch record is by King Curtis. One of the greatest saxophone players of rhythm  & blues and pop offers his tribute to the great Memphis blues sound. This album is on ATCO of Atlantic records. These 12 tasty instrumentals were the soulful hits out of the Stax-Volt record library. Songs include; "Knock On Wood" (Eddie Floyd), "Good To Me" (Otis Redding), "Green Onions" (Booker T. Jones), "In the Midnight Hour" (Wilson Pickett) along with others. The YouTube sample song is "Jump Back" (Rufus Thomas) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtgMw4851H8 . . bucko
