Jimmy Smith - Root Down - Live!

180-gram vinyl

Root Down captures the king of the Hammond B3 organ, Jimmy Smith, playing down and dirty R&B. The album includes two versions (one previously unissued) of Smith's "Root Down," a song covered by the Beastie Boys in 1994.

There is also a hypnotic reading of Al Green's pleading "Let's Stay Together," which yet again proves that Jimmy Smith is a man with a lot of soul. On 180-gram vinyl.

Big Surprise posted on 10/22/2024 5 Stars Everyone knows how great this performance is, but I'll bet that you'd be as surprised as I was when I first played this record. I was hoping for good sound quality, but I wasn't prepared for how excellent it is. Wow! What a pleasant surprise.
