Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Booker T. Jones is considered one of the architects of the soul that emerged from Memphis in the 1960s.
He and his band, Booker T. & the MG's, served as the Stax Records house band, and he has performed with artists as diverse as Willie Nelson, Soul Asylum and The Roots.
Utahns will see why Booker T. Jones is a multi-Grammy Award winner when he plays the Egyptian Theatre in Park City for three nights this weekend.
"I'm going over six or seven sheets that I have on my desk trying to pick out the songs we're going to play in Park City," Jones said during a telephone interview from his home in Lake Tahoe, Nev. "It's nice having a variety because some of the songs keep coming back, you know, 'Green Onions,' 'Time Is Tight,' 'Hip Hug Her.' "
