Allen Toussaint – Songbook (2-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Allen Toussaint spent decades as one of New Orleans' most essential behind-the-scenes architects, shaping the sound of artists from Lee Dorsey to Dr. John to the Meters before the world fully caught up to his genius as a solo performer. This solo piano session captures him in an intimate setting, stripping away the horns and rhythm sections he so masterfully arranged for others, leaving just the songs and the man who wrote them.
Allen Toussaint’s critically acclaimed Songbook album is available for the first time on vinyl on this 2-LP edition. A new 2-CD format is also available featuring the original album plus 20 unreleased bonus recordings. Recorded at Joe’s Pub in New York City in 2009 the album brings together Toussaint, a piano and his extensive catalog of songs. With the spotlight on his originals, it includes "Lipstick Traces (On a Cigarette)," "Holy Cow," "Get Out of My Life, Woman," and more.
