Quand on commence à jouer du jazz, la première rencontre est avec le monde réel : propriétaires de clubs, qui ne pensent qu’au profit. Les écoles, c’est pareil, mais avec un costume.

The New Lee Dorsey by Lee Dorsey, released on Stateside in 1966.

Review by Richie Unterberger

Less than a year had passed between this and Lee Dorsey's previous LP, Ride Your Pony, and Allen Toussaint was again the prime creative force, writing material and co-producing. The sound, however, had definitely taken a step in a funkier direction. It's still lighthearted, though not lightweight, soul music with a New Orleans bounce, paced by the Top Ten hit "Working in a Coal Mine" and also including the Top 30 follow-up "Holy Cow."

They say the Devil built a mansion in the middle of old New Orleans.

And some say he never really left.

Ms H announced a friend gifted us with a bag of lemons.
I said, "How nice, I guess they had a good crop from a lemon tree in their yard?"
Ms H: "No, she caught them at the Irish-Italian Parade".
