Negative Positive
Title: Half of a good album, but the good half is excellent.
Review: The first half of this album is really ace. In the title cut Booker T & the MG's successfully pull off an extended composition, no easy task for a band rooted in three minute songs & funky covers. Chicken Pox is a crisp original.Alas, the second half of the album sounds like an audition for soul muzak. Two titles tell the tale: Kinda Easy Like & L.A. Jazz Song. Of course it ain't jazz & the doo dah singing chorus is a major annoyance. The band always heads downhill when there's too much Booker T & not enough MG's.DJ Rix
