The 44th episode of Daryl Hall's Live at Daryl's House will feature soul great Booker T. Jones. Jones was also part of the last episode, which featured new soul singer Mayer Hawthorne, but this time around he is the full focus of the show.
"One of the nicest things about performing on Live from Daryl's House is that Daryl has surrounded himself with musicians who can 'hear,’" enthused Booker T. "That is, each one has talent to the extent of being capable of performing as a soloist on his own, not needing to be told the proper notes to sing or play."
Leslie West told Billboard his reaction to his recent leg amputation. "I cried a couple fuckin' times. I look down -- 'Where is it?!' You still feel the nerves and stuff like that.

West is currently in a rehab facility learning to reattain balance and work electric wheelchairs. He is looking forward to the August 13 release of his new album Unusual Suspects which he wants to tour behind.
