Product Description

Allen Toussaint produced a kind of masterpiece with his first Reprise album, Life, Love and Faith, finding previously unimagined variations on his signature New Orleans R&B sound. For its 1975 sequel, Southern Nights, he went even further out, working with producer Marshall Sehorn to create a hazy vague concept album that flirted with neo-psychedelia while dishing out his deepest funk and sweetest soul. It's a bit of an unfocused album, but that's largely due to the repeated instrumental "filler," usually based on the theme of the title song, that pops up between every two or so songs, undercutting whatever momentum the album is building. That, along with a song or two that are merely average Toussaint, prevents Southern Nights from being a full-fledged masterpiece, but it comes close enough to that level of distinction anyway due to the brilliance of its best songs.

当時はギターサウンドが大好きだった私を、ピアノ、サックスに耳を傾けさせる事になった思い出のアルバムです。兎に角全編通してSAXの素晴らしい事!!彼のアレンジも凄いのだけれど、GARYBROWNを一度で大好きになりました。アルバムの最後の処のSAXの素晴らしさ!!!是非、皆さん聴いて下さい。蕩けますヨ。それから、彼からUKのRobertPalrmer,JessRoden,FrankieMiller...を教わりました。御陰でドンドン深みに嵌って行きました。アリガトウ〜!
