Booker T. Jones - 'Representing Memphis' feat. Sharon Jones & Matt Berninger

This soulful tune from Booker T features a surprise vocal collaboration between Sharon Jones and The National’s Matt Berninger. The surprise comes from how easy Berninger fits into the groove alongside Sharon Jones. ‘Representing Memphis’ comes from The Road from Memphis, Booker T’s new album that will also feature Lou Reed, The Roots and Jim James of My Morning Jacket. It’ll be released through Anti in early May. You can hear Booker T and The Roots perform Lauryn Hill’s ‘Everything Is Everything’ on Soundcloud.

My Morning Jacket’s new song ‘Circuital’ is also very much worth a listen:
