Trick Bag
LP (Item 3136) Reprise, 1976 — Condition: Used
Mid 70s, and the New Orleans soul sound has broken out of the underground, and is residing happily in mainstream LA. Allen Toussaint's already produced a bucketful of albums for Warner Brothers, and The Meters themselves are working in a crossover territory that has them touring with the Rolling Stones and hitting a whole new range of college-type audiences. The group's smoothed things out considerably, but still manages to funk nicely at the best moments – even if those raw, jagged grooves are mostly gone from the album. Titles are a much a "trick bag" as the title – with a cover of Earl King's "Trick Bag" that features guest vocals by Earl, a remake of "(Doodle Loop) The World is a Little Bit Under the Weather", one of their best from the Josie days, a cover of "Honky Tonk Woman", which we can only assume was played on tour with The Stones – plus the original cuts "Chug A Lug", "Mister Moon", and "Find Yourself". (Original pressing. Cover has some wear and a torn-off cutout notch.) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
