The rise and rise of New Orleans - By: Richard, 14 Apr 2008 
Funk is a word which reminds me of the boring music of James Brown or the people who do all that Maggot brain funkadelic crap but this is the real thing The word was conjured upin New Orleans & means basically "sweaty".
Linking up to psychedlia killed the music for me but New Orleans carried on as a major force well into the 70s when it began leasing to a Mississipi label called Malaco
Here come the girls.... - By: Bupster, 06 Dec 2007 Yes, this is the album that features the soundtrack to this year's fabulous Boots ad. While nothing for me can trump Ernie K-Doe's fantastic track, there are a hell of a lot of fine artists on this record. Thoroughly recommended.
Great Stuff - By: Tubby, 12 Dec 2003 
Nearly every songin this collection is amazing. Funk with an edge. Very addictive. One of the best from the Souljazz range.
Another fantastic album from Soul jazz records - By: , 10 Nov 2000 If you thought that New Orleans funk was just The Meters then you were wrong. True, the Neville brothers appearin a variety of guises throughout this album, but with Lee Dorsey, Professor Longhair & Dr John all chippingin there's never really a dull moment. Taking up where Booker T & the MGs left off but pre George Clinton & Parliament this puts the history of funk into perspective. A wonderful New Orleans gumbo of an album with fantastic liner notes. And Zig Modeliste is God!
