danasgoodstuff Posted December 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 Half of these guys went to high school with Stewart's nephew Packy Axton, Booker lived in the neighborhood where the studio was, and the drummer was the only one who was a professional musician pre-Stax. Together they were the best session band ever IMHO, because they combined the professionalism necessary to that role with a visceral enthusiasm more typical of amateurs.
