A new album by iconic artist Booker T. Jones revisits a number of integral musical junctures of his career. We're focusing on a new version of “Cause I Love You," which was the first song he ever recorded on, he was so young he was driven to Stax studios from his high school algebra class and played the opening notes on a borrowed baritone sax. "Cause I Love You" is how we feel about the man on his 75th birthday!
