Description
|
|
|
|
New Orleans' own Lee Dorsey is seconded by the great pianist Allen Toussaint and funk kings the Meters on these 1960s and 70s tracks. The most well known are "Working in the Coal Mine," "Yes We Can," "Ride Your Pony," "Ya Ya," "Do-Re-Mi," and "Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley," but any one of the 16 selections will get your party started. "One of pop and soul's best-kept secrets, and he never sounded better."—All Music Guide "It's easy to understand the producer's [Toussaint's] attraction to Dorsey's rought-hewn, chunky vocal style, sharpened considerably on a series of vernacular R&B hits … most notably 'Ya Ya'."—MusicHound Rock
