Release: 2014-09-29
Label: Soul Jazz Records
For more than ten years Soul Jazz Records have been exploring and documenting the sound of
New Orleans Funk. Now they turn their attention to the flipside of this musical coin - New
Orleans Soul. These two musical forms share a lineage that begins with the citys enormous
rhythm and blues explosion in the post-war 1940s and 1950s. New Orleans Soul incorporated
the soulful vocals of the gospel church, the driving beat of rhythm and blues, as well as traces of
the second-line parade bands and the latinized rhythms of the city.
Here you will find New Orleans soul in all its glorious variations from the deep, deep soul of
singers Aaron Neville, Willie Tee and Robert Parker to the storming northern soul of Maurice
Williams and Eldridge Holmes, the funky soul of Eddie Bo, Lionel Robinson and Ernie K-Doe
all alongside the Crescent Citys finest soul sisters Irma Thomas, Betty Harris, Jean Knight,
Inell Young and more!
The main force behind New Orleans Soul is Allen Toussaint, a virtual one-man hit-making
machine in the 1960s, writing, arranging and producing hit after hit for an unending list of
unbelievably talented local singers such as Eldridge Holmes, Maurice Williams, Betty Harris,
Ernie K Doe and Diamond Joe all of whom are featured. New Orleans is also a city of great
musical families. Vocalist Aaron Neville was the brother of Art Neville (who formed The
Meters) and later in the 1970s joined with brother Cyril to form The Neville Brothers. Soul
