We’ve heard Booker T. Jones’ “Representing Memphis” with the National’s Matt Berninger and Sharon Jones duetting on vocals, and now his star-studded LP, The Road from Memphis, is available to stream one week ahead of its official release via Anti- Records. In addition to boasting co-producers ?uestlove of the Roots and Beck/Elliott Smith collaborator Rob Schnapf, there are plenty of notable guests enticing us to give the jams on the legendary mult-instrumentalist’s latest effort a taste. I, for one, dove in with Yim Yames, aka Jim James of My Morning Jacket, on standout cut “Progress” before streaming the most anticipated collaboration on the album: Lou Reed and friends’ ode to “The Bronx.” You can hear those two tracks alongside the rest of the record below:
