Allen Toussaint


Any Toussaint fans here?
I just received the vinyl pressing of Life, Love And Faith from Acoustic Sounds and it is really great. 4 Men With Beards recently reissued this and one more of his titles. They did a very nice job with the mastering and pressing. Very clean sounding vinyl. I recommend!

The 4MWB is nice. They also reissued "Southern Nights". "The Bright Mississippi" from 2009 from the Nonesuch label is also very good.
I'm a huge fan. "Mississipppi" is great and sounds great, but IMHO it's a little diversion from his "power alley". I'm really a huge fan of his old 1970's Warner Bros funk/pop. He also did some great stuff as a producer/writer/sideman in the early '60's with Ernie K-doe and, later, The Showmen.
