Today's Highlight: "Home Grown Soul: Booker T. Jones & Jimmy Hughes"
This week we visit with two masters of Southern soul. Multi-instrumentalist Booker T. Jones, along with his group the MGs, helped to create the legendary Stax sound. We talk with Booker T. about growing up in Memphis and his current work with the up and coming Southern rock band, the Drive-By Truckers. Soul singer Jimmy Hughes got his start at another landmark of Southern music, FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Hughes shares stories about his classic hits "Steal Away" and "Why Not Tonight," as well as his move from gospel to soul and back again
