Since his productions and collaborations with The Meters, The Band, and countless New Orleans artists beginning the ‘60s, pianist and songwriter Allen Toussaint has been revered for his soulful music and his killer piano playing.
This new CD focuses on the blues and New Orleans music that Toussaint grew up on and features his piano along with a stellar band including guitarist Marc Ribot and Jay Bellerose on drums.
The album is full of Toussaint’s signature horn writing and has an engaging, rustic production sound that suits the music perfectly. For fans of real New Orleans swing, funk and gritty soul, this CD is a must.
