As the good doctor - Dr John - says in his autobiography: "I feel real blessed to have been around AFO, because they were putting down so much of the new and fascinating music that was coming out of New Orleans at the time. I was on the inside with this new funk style from the beginning. "'Still Spicy Gumbo Stew' is Volume 3 in the Ace story of AFO Records, the crucial New Orleans' record label. As the titles have it, the first course was 'Gumbo Stew' (CDCHD 450), the second 'More Gumbo Stew' (CDCHD 462) and this time around the dish is Still Spicy! There's Dr John with The Point, Eddie Bo with his Check Mr Popeye, the mighty fine Alvin Robinson (he of Down Home Girl - covered by The Rolling Stones), Willie Tee, Tami Lynn and the late piano great James Booker with his End Of A Dream previously unreleased . The Tick Tocks in demander is here and not on youtube its that rare!..As is Alvin Robinsons killer in the tasters! So many northern killers here!The stew this time is a littler jazzier but from the same great pot that was AFO - one of the finest of the early '60s New Orleans' R&B organisations.

AFO (All For One) was allegedly the first black owned record label in the US. Short lived, but mighty discography. There is a 4 cd compilation of some of their work, which has a great booklet with it. Highly recommend! Many thanks for this jewel AMM!
