In today’s unlikely duo news, comes the new track from Soul Legend Booker T. Jones featuring The National’s Matt Berninger and Sharon Jones (sans the Dap Kings).  The new track “Representing Memphis” is the first from his upcoming album The Road From Memphis.  The new album features Booker T. backed up by the Roots, and is said to feature guest appearances by Jim James and Lou Reed in addition to Berninger and Jones.  The Road From Memphis follows up Booker T’s last disc Potato Hole, his first album in 20 years.  The album featured the Drive By Truckers and Neil Young as his backing band, and won the 2010 Grammy for best instrumental album.

Check out the new track along with another take from the new album – an instrumental cover of Lauryn Hill’s “Everything is Everything” below.
