520    "The long-awaited memoir of Booker T. Jones, leader of the
       famed Stax Records house band, architect of the Memphis 
       soul sound, and one of the most legendary figures in 
       music. From Booker T. Jones's earliest years in segregated
       Memphis, music was the driving force in his life. While he
       worked paper routes and played gigs in local nightclubs to
       pay for lessons and support his family, Jones, on the side,
       was also recording sessions in what became the famous Stax
       Studios-all while still in high school. Not long after, he
       would form the genre-defining group Booker T. and the MGs,
       whose recordings went on to sell millions of copies, win a
       place in Rolling Stone's list of top 500 songs of all time,
       and help forge collaborations with some of the era's most 
       influential artists, including Otis Redding, Wilson 
       Pickett, and Sam & Dave. Nearly five decades later, 
       Jones's influence continues to help define the music 
       industry, but only now is he ready to tell his remarkable 
       life story. Time is Tight is the deeply moving account of 
       how Jones balanced the brutality of the segregationist 
       South with the loving support of his family and community,
       all while transforming a burgeoning studio into a musical 
       mecca. Culminating with a definitive account into the 
       inner workings of the Stax label, as well as a fascinating
       portrait of working with many of the era's most legendary 
       performers-Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, and Tom Jones, among 
       them-this extraordinary memoir promises to become a 
       landmark moment in the history of Southern Soul."--
