The sound of the B3 Hammond Organ has always been a hallmark of Booker T's music. The group's new album, "Sound the Alarm," expands on that tradition.

In 1962, the band Booker T. & The M.G.'s released their first hit: "Green Onions." Since then, the sound of the B3 Hammond Organ has become a hallmark of Booker T's music.
