Neil Young and Drive-By Truckers to Help Out BOOKER T. on New Album !

     MUSIC NEWS - NEIL YOUNG and The Drive-By Truckers are scheduled to help out on Booker T Jones (Green Onions fame) 2009 instrumental album, his first in 20 years!  Drive-By Truckers will be Booker T's backing band and Neil will have a lead guitarist role.  "Potato Hole" is due out April 21, 2009, and the 10-song release will include covers of "Hey Ya," Tom Waits' "Get Behind the Mule" and the Drive-By Truckers' "Space City".    You may recall that soul man BOOKER T. JONES  has helped Neil out frequently, namely on Neil's "Are You Passionate" album (2002) and on his 1993 tour.  Jones and his Booker T + The MGs bandmates were Young's backing group on the much praised album, so now  Mr Young's returning the favor.
