"Chinese Checkers" A Tribute To Memphis Soul Instrumentals 2001

Subtitled A Tribute To Memphis Soul Instrumentals, Chinese Checkers revisits the great instrumentals recorded by Booker T. & The M.G.’s back in the ‘60s and early ‘70s…...A couple years back, Wildebeest Records issued a top-notch surf-rock tribute disc to horn master Herb Alpert and now the label has issued an equally cool thirteen cut homage to the great Booker T. & Co. Some of the hottest up-and-coming names on the guitar-based surf-rock scene are on hand here including Pollo del Mar (a spellbinding cover of "Time Is Tight"), I Cosmonauti ("High Ride"), Slackmates ("Green Onions") and The Tiki Tones ("Chinese Checkers").
