Get Up & Dance:(1977)
On more than one occasion, I sat and ate hamburgers with Wayne Jackson, and listened to him tell stories of his life in music. I think I own records from just about every period of Wayne's career, from STAX to Elvis to U2 to Neil Young to my own album he played on. But, these are the two Memphis Horns records I have. Wayne and Andrew stepping up to front their own albums. These two produced a sound that no one else had. I always meant to have these autographed when I would stop in Memphis for a visit, but each time I would get ready to bring them, it felt weird. Possibly like I was impinging on the friendship, so I always left them at home. I miss those visits. At least there's the music, and what music it is.
