One of the most popular instrumental songs ever, 'Green Onions' started out as a band jam at a demo recording session for rock'n'roll singer Billy Lee Riley with the famed Stax Records house band. Stax label head Jim Stewart liked what he heard and recorded what would become the basis for the band's debut album. The audio has been completely remastered and the packaging features all new liner notes penned by American author David Ritz, who interviewed two of the founding members: Booker T. Jones and Steve Cropper for this edition.
