The Crescent City on the Mississippi.
Record Producers:- Dave Bartholomew and Allen Toussaint.
Artists:-
Fats Domino Irma Thomas Tony Joe White Aaron Neville, Lee Dorsey, Dr John and loads more besides.
Top UK reissue label Soul Jazz follow up their popular New Orleans Funk compilation with a second visit to the vaults of fifties, sixties and seventies funk and soul from the South.
Featuring many of the same artists as New Orleans Funk, Saturday Night Fish Fry adds to the overview of the distinctive New Orleans sound, where you'll find an unmistakable skip in the funky beat. Singers like Betty Harris, Eddie Bo and Lee Dorsey get busy over tight-assed backbeats courtesy of New Orleans' finest musicians and producers.
Collecting singles released by the city's scores of obscurely named independent record labels like Seven-B, Choctaw, Red Bird, Deesu and Mor-Soul, many of which were only ever localised hits, the Soul Jazz crew have added another essential volume to their already extensive archives of funky black American music.
