| Description: | As a founding member of Stax house band Booker T. & The M.G.â??s, Steve Cropper was
involved in some of the most important music of the 1960s as a player, songwriter, and
producer. The following decade introduced him to a new group of fans as guitarist for The
Blues Brothers, appearing on both their records and film. A two-time Grammy® winner and
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Cropper has been an integral thread in the cloth of
American music, writing, playing and producing into the 21st century to this very day.
In 1969, Cropper released his first solo album, producing and arranging its eleven tracks
himself. His backing band? While there is no actual record of who played on the album
itself, Grammy® winner Robert Gordonâ??s liner notes point to his fellow M.G.â??s, Buddy Miles,
Jim Keltner, the Bar-Kayâ??s James Alexander, and more as candidates. From original tracks to
its well-known covers (including The Beatles classic the release shares its name with), it is a
tour de force of pure Memphis rock and soul.
The core eleven tracks now appear again on an all-analog cut, new pressing of the LP as
With A Little Help From My Friends returns for a new generation to experience. The CD
version contains a whopping eight bonus tracks, including four tracks not included on the
original release and alternate versions of four that do. Add in Robert Gordonâ??s notes and this
release is as much a history lesson as it is a timepiece of pure musical magic. - ..MY FRIENDS, BOOKER T & MG'S GUITAR PLAYER SOLOProduced & arranged by Steve Cropper.
