New Orleans Funk Experience collects together 24 rare and raw Funk and
Soul gems from artists associated with The Big Easy. Featuring rare
tracks from Lee Dorsey, Betty Harris and Eddie Bo on labels such as
Ace, Amy, SSS, Seven B, Deesu, Instant and Tou-Sea. Many of these tracks
have never before been available on CD before 2010. Compilers Andy Smith and
Dean Rudland might prefer killer breaks to fully functioning songs, but
there are enough of both here to maintain interest, with some
Northern Soul dancers among the chicken scratch guitar. Larry Darnell's excellent "Son of a Slave" is a
stand out moment. There's no resisting the clattering rhythms and unfettered emotions of songs such as Betty Harris' evergreen `Mean Man'. In the words of Gus "The Groove" Lewis: "Lay back, relax, and let the groove move you" ..A truly Fantastic album with all genres of soul catered for!

Excellent review of this comp. Thank you for allowing us to hear these great and rare sounds. Thank you AMM.
Looks interesting, thanks for the review.
Eddie Bo - a friend that I miss every damn day. Fence of Love is a very hard to find single of his. Also, Roger & the Gypsies is, due to contractual reasons, actually Eddie Bo.
There are several other very hard to find cuts on this comp. As someone who has spent the majority of his life listening to and promoting the sounds of New Orleans this is a comp to grab - hell, I don't even have it.
Many thanks for an exceptional preview, AMM!
Thanks AMM for moving with the groove.
