"On Note By Note, Booker T. Jones chronologically catalogs his contributions to American music, moving from his early days at Stax through his solo career, his collaborations with Carlos Santana and Willie Nelson, and culminates in recent tunes with his son, guitarist Teddy Jones".

"His emotive keyboard work, woefully underrecognized soulful vocals, and production skills are all evident on Note by Note. Jones is taking a risk with these re-recordings of classic tracks because the originals are so baked in the consciousness of listeners. There really is no room for improvement on tracks like Albert King's Born Under a Bad Sign, Otis Redding's These Arms of Mine, Carla Thomas' B-A-B-Y, or the MGs' Time Is Tight, but, especially through his distinctive instrumental sound and style, Jones seems to be taking possession of the music".
