Jones was sitting in his home in Beverly Hills in 1971 when he first heard Abbey Road. “I was more than impressed with it,” he told me recently over the phone. “They were at a point in their career where they didn’t have to impress, but they had done an innovative thing with the music there, and I wanted to pay tribute to that.” The tribute, released only a few months after Abbey Road, is McLemore Avenue, Booker T. and the MG’s stunning reinterpretation of the album. Unfortunately, Jones says, those landmark tracks don’t often make it into his sets these days—he’s still supporting 2011’s The Road From Memphis, which features The National’s Matt Berninger and My Morning Jacket’s Jim James, among others. But McLemore is essential listening whether you’re going to his shows or not. In the decades since, Jones says, he’s yet to hear a record that deserves a similar tribute. “But you know,” he says, “there haven’t been four people around like them, either.” Snoqualmie Casino, 37500 S.E.
