New Orleans Funk: New Orleans - The Original Sound of Funk 1960-75 cover art

Highlights the incredibly distinct, syncopated, second-line driven groove that separated New Orleans R&B from the rest of the American soul and funk landscape. Anchored by the legendary production and songwriting of Allen Toussaint and The Meters, the compilation gathers both iconic regional hits and obscure local vinyl pressings. It remains a critically essential primer on one of America's most uniquely musical cities.
