Synopsis

Album Description

No one snake-hipped his way up the pop charts with more panache than New Orleans R&B legend Lee Dorsey on 'Ride Your Pony'. Ride Your Pony, Dorsey's first Amy album, is sweetened by 11 rare bonus tracks called from the absolute master tapes, and remains the distilled essence of the New Orleans sound. The funk is ratcheted up a notch on Dorsey's second Amy album, The New Lee Dorsey. 12 bonus tracks empty the Amy vaults as Dorsey, backed here on many tracks by Crescent City icons the Meters, proves that he was indeed the Big Easy. A Sundazed release.

CD Reviews

The New Orlean Groovemaster's reissue rates a big four stars

Mike Perciaccante | Reockville Centre, NY | 01/17/2001

(4 out of 5 stars)

"If you're a fan of the New Orleans groove, The Meters, Allen Toussaint, funk, soul R&B or just plain old good music, this CD is for you. Re-issue house, Sundazed Music from Coxsachie, NY has done it again. This mid-60's (1966 to be exact) release shows Lee Dorsey to be in fine voice. The New Lee Dorsey is chock full of bonus tracks and the non-stop funk n' party roll that is New Orleans music. The New Lee Dorsey opens up with "Working In A Coalmine" (no, its not a Devo song; they just covered it) and doesn't let up. As with Ride Your Pony (the other Sundazed re-issue), the bonus tracks are all gems. Don't miss "Everything I Do Gohn Be Funky (from No On)" and "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself a Letter."If you have never heard of Lee Dorsey, this CD is a great representation of his mid-60's sound. If you're a longtime fan, this album is finally available on CD. If you're just a passing fan, give The New Lee Dorsey a chance. You won't be disappointed."
