Booker T.

Potato Hole (Anti-)

Vintage Stax fries up T.'s organ-donor program starring Neil Young leading the Drive-By Truckers. OutKast's "Hey Ya" cooks Shakey's bio-diesel, while his brief solo on "Native New Yorker" buffs a thoroughbred coat, and Tom Waits' "Get Behind the Mule" pushes the heated end of the beast. Title cut misses another 20 minutes of choogle, but "Space City" bundles The Big Chill soundtrack.
