"Work that groove?" they laughed. "Hell, it IS our groove."
Listen closely, and you will hear Wilson Pickett's version of "Mustang Sally." Admittedly, it's hard to pick up on this live version, but it's unmistakable on the LP.

Memphis Underground
The LP version of "Memphis Underground" was done at American Recording on Chelsea in North Memphis. If you listen to the title track --- there's an interesting story that goes with it. Selecto-Hits is right across the street from American -- Herbie and the boys went across the street and bought some records. They were trying to figure out something to record. Herbie never identified the record, but I'm sure I know which one it is. They hit on one they liked -- and Herbie asked the session players if they could work that same groove.
"Work that groove?" they laughed. "Hell, it IS our groove."
