Description
|
|
|
|
With veterans like Bonnie Raitt and Dr. John—who have been digging and playing Toussaint's music for a long, long time—the second-line vibe is second nature. For "Occapella," first recorded by Lee Dorsey, keyboardist and bandleader Jon Cleary (featured on Season 2 of HBO's Treme) has the gospel-trained voices of the Absolute Monster Gentlemen perform an a cappella arrangement. All parties involved work their own special brand of voodoo on tunes like "Let's Get Low Down," "Popcorn Pop Pop," "Southern Nights," "Everything I Do Gonh Be Funky," and "Fortune Teller." "A loving reimagining of one of the most cherished catalogs in all of New Orleans music."—New Orleans Times-Picayune
