The drum playing is totally appropriate for the groove. I might even say the Roots killed the rhythm track for this, allowing Booker T ample space to build the melody and slay it in the end. This is not Booker T and the MG's, it's Booker T and The Roots, so of course it's gonna sound different. Props to my mann, Bosco for capturing it as only he can. Best track I've heard from this record thus far!

How are people criticizing a song this good? This song is arranged perfectly to highlight booker t's organ. This is how jazz and soul used to be made to have one focal point and i think we could use more of this production method today.

I can't get enough of this song! It is phenomenal!

[neilpickles]

This is the greatest instrument for a LONG LONG time, my fox the groove. I can listen to this again and again just fabulous

[mikekrol]

All things connect. Soothes my brain in so many ways. Can't thank you enough. This feeds me.

[tonysoulmanok]

The best rythm section that Booker could find since the Mg's!

[JonTisch]

One of my favorite instrumentals! I had the pleasure of seeing Booker T. and the band play this live. Great version of the Lauryn Hill song.

I saw it now, i don't now how i miss it,

Opinions are like a**holes, everybody's got one. The song, in itself, is no big hit or a great tune as far as mainstream would be concerned, but the mix, the performance, the entire feel of the song is perfect for what it is. Just sit back and listen. It's to enjoy--not criticize.

[jbaker]

Holy crap, it’s like being bombarded from both ends . Melody and rhythms

[guymichel]

Booker always gives me the best warm chills, whenever I listen to him. My friend Chris Hills even had a badass group called Everything Is Everything.

[blkkeyes]

This is awesome; just can't help think how incredible it would be with Lauryn spitting her verse: "I philosophy / Possibly speak
