Album Review
The smooth, sly with a wink-in-the-eye singing style of New Orleans' Lee Dorsey is one of pop and soul's best-kept secrets, and he never sounded better than when he was teamed with pianist/songwriter/arranger/producer Allen Toussaint. This delightful anthology brings together key tracks from Dorsey and Toussaint's late-'60s and early-'70s albums, including the immortal "Working in the Coal Mine," "Ride Your Pony," "Can You Hear Me," "Occapella" (later covered by none other than Ringo Starr), and "Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley." With wonderfully loose but exact arrangements and horn charts, backup vocals by the Meters, and dosed with early New Orleans funk rhythms, all topped off by Dorsey's warm, engaging vocals, these are classic tracks that deserve to be better known.
Customer Reviews
Lee is the best!
This collection leans heavily on Lee's best album YES WE CAN, including such gems as the title track, "Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley" and "Games People Play." Plus it's got some of the other necessary key hits like "Working in a Coal Mine" and "Ride Your Pony." A great set of songs!
DORSEY AND TOUSSAINT
Mostly written and produced by the legendary Allen Toussaint, these are some of the most joyous R and B records ever made. This seems to be the best collection available on itunes, but the classic Riverboat is inexplicably missing.
