Green Onions has a nice, crisp sound. Except for Green Onions and Mo' Onions, all the songs are instrumental cover versions. Besides sounding good, it's not very interesting. More interesting is that the organ reminds me of being at the Boston Garden as a kid and watching the Boston Bruins.

It's worth listening to for the sound and if you really enjoy organs. No matter what though, Green Onions is definitely worth listening to, and Behave Yourself and One Who Really Loves You are pretty good, too.
