Wayne Jackson and the Raconteurs

We got news this morning that trumpet legend and good friend of NPT Wayne Jackson is on the new album by Nashville’s own Raconteurs, Consolers of the Lonely, which debuted last week at number 7 on Billboard. You can hear Wayne’s signature sound on tracks “The Switch & the Spur” and “Many Shades of Black.” Wayne, of course, in addition to the many things he’s done in his storied career, was one of the famous Memphis Horns on all those great Stax Records hits and a touring member of Otis Redding’s band. Jackson joined us at the Belcourt Theatre last year when we screened “Respect Yourself: The Stax Records Story.”
