Product Details

Allen Toussaint rarely sought the spotlight for himself, which makes this 20-track collection all the more valuable. While the world knew his songs through other voices, hearing him perform his own material reveals the quiet genius behind decades of New Orleans rhythm and blues; the same wit and economy that made him the city's most in-demand studio architect translates beautifully to his own recordings.

Without Allen Toussaint's herculean musical contributions, New Orleans' crucial musical heritage would be a footnote confined to '50s Rock & Roll. As a producer, songwriter and artist, Toussaint defined the seminal NOLA funk genre, giving hits not only to favorite sons like Ernie K. Doe and Lee Dorsey, but to Labelle, Robert Palmer, Rod Stewart and many others.
