About This Song
About "Twist and Shout" by Booker T. & The M.G.'s
Their cover of 'Twist and Shout' trades the Isley Brothers' frenzy for a simmering, disciplined heat. The M.G.'s keep the twist rhythm on a short leash, letting the organ and guitar spar over a bedrock groove—a party that feels controlled, yet ready to combust at any second.
