Green Onions R&B-3 is a collection of Memphis rhythm and blues classics performed by the Charlie Wood Trio. Using only his voice, the mighty Hammond B-3 organ, drums, and alternately guitar or sax, Charlie has combined the cool, swinging sounds of an organ trio with the hard-driving soul of an R&B band to give these already popular tunes a new musical setting that's sure to appeal to fans of both genres. Here's what Frank Eugene of Daddy-O records had to say in the album's liner notes: R&B-3 is a combination of two genres: organ trio, traditionally a jazz or soul jazz format, and Memphis Rhythm and Blues. It's not an experiment so much as the natural product of Charlie's long tenure on Beale Street. Millions of people come to Beale every year to hear the music of Otis Redding, Al Green, Sam and Dave, and other Memphis R&B legends. When a musician as capable on the Hammond B-3 organ as Charlie Wood (is there anyone else as capable?) gets together with players of the caliber of those on this album, the result is as beautiful as it is amazing. Charlie's feet on the pedals lock in with Russell's drums to lay down a bass groove as solid and funky as any Fender player. Charlie's left hand and Gerard's guitar bob and weave around each other to stir up the rhythm. Jim's tenor and Charlie's right hand fit together like a tight Memphis horn section. And above it all, Charlie's sweet, soulful vocals and screaming B-3 solos send the whole sound into overdrive.
