The first question that should be on everyone's mind when it comes to Booker T. & the M.G.s sophomore album, Soul Dressing is why the heck did it take them three years to come up with it? ...After all three years was practically an eternity in the days of early pop-rock. Only God can tell me how many bands were born and subsequently died in that period of time, and I don't think he cares. ...Ultimately, the answer to that burning question is that we shouldn't think of early '60s bands as album-oriented. Bands didn't start becoming album-oriented until a few years later. Naturally, Booker T. & the M.G.s were still active all those years not only acting as the backing band to legendary people like Otis Redding and ; they were just predominately singles oriented. (The Yardbirds are perhaps the most famous example of a singles-oriented band.) Thus, this isn't so much an “album” but rather a compilation of their singles from 1963-1965.
