Potato Hole is Booker’s first new solo record in two decades. Recorded in Athens and San Francisco, the record features the backing of the Drive-By Truckers and has been receiving early rave reviews:

"Despite the high-profile support players [Neil Young, Drive-By Truckers], Booker T. clearly takes the lead, opening with gigantic chords...he gets so much texture and nuance out of his instrument that it sounds like it's actually forming words." –Pitchfork

“Booker T Jones might be making the best rock'n'roll album of the year.” – The Guardian UK

“It's every bit as raw as Booker says, thanks to layers of guitar from the Truckers and Neil Young, who plays on nine tracks. The title track has five guitarists—three Truckers, Young and Booker, who writes on guitar even though he's famous for playing organ.” - Billboard



You can hear two tracks from the new record, “Warped Sister” and “Native New Yorker” on Booker’s myspace page –

Hammond B3 alchemist Booker T Jones is one America's most prolific, distinguished and instantly recognizable musical forces, and the arrival of his new Anti- album, Potato Hole, not only re-affirms his greatness, it also re-introduces the neglected all-instrumental format to a noisy, crowded marketplace crying out for precisely the type of soul satisfying pleasure which Jones excels at. With choice accompaniment by the capable Southern rock visionaries Drive By Truckers and a sound often pushed into over drive by the volcanic lead guitar of rock & roll legend Neil Young, it is an altogether extraordinary set.
