This is the third MG's album. The first two ("Green Onions" and "Soul Dressing") featured a bassist named Lewie Steinberg whose bass lines were very blues-based and traditional. This album is where Donald "Duck" Dunn, a younger, more inventive bassist, came in. Like the "Green Onions" album, "And Now" mixes original tunes with cover material to good effect ("Soul Dressing" was all-original and didn't catch on well with listeners). The sound of "And Now," though, shows Dunn's influence: Things are less bluesy and more funky and the MG's are beginning to reach the magic formula that they'd perfect on the later "Hip Hug-Her" and "Soul Limbo" albums.
