    Toussaint Is FUNKY!!!
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2017*

Very nice blend of instrumental pieces and songs. Up until I listened to this CD, only Vince Guaraldi's rendition of Cast Your Fate to the Wind was acceptable. Alan has given us another variation to appreciate ... without being sacrilegious to Vince. The two best songs on the CD are back-to-back, Working in the Coal Mine and Everything I Do Gonna Be Funky. I sorely miss Toussaint's creativity, his originality, his unmatched skill on the piano, and his wonderful, joyful voice. Thank goodness for CDs like this.

Allen Toussaint is one of those names you only know if you really know music, and know marginally. His name may be only in even an astute  music collectors subconscious.This is in no way an insult to this master: its only that you can collect albums for your whole life and not realize how many small print credits this man has on the backs of your album covers in the deep recesses of your shelving. Glenn Campbell, Devo, The Meters, LaBelle: chances are right  now I am within five feet of three or more albums Toussaint had a hand in and I don't even know it.His stature as a songwriter, one of the best has been established by other reviewers here, and a Google search will shed light on this musical force, a force in all music, not just that of the big easy.What might not be as easy to learn is why Allen Toussaint didn't record more, or that he doesn't have more well known recordings. This album from 1971 is a perfect example. He of course records some of his own music here, "Working In The Coal Mine," and does fantastic renditions of other people's songs, like "The Chokin' Kind."All this is done perfectly in a spare but full style, with piano from Dr. John, amazing horn work, and  equally amazing backing female vocals. This stuff sounds organic--live and without an ounce of studio fat--but still reveals layers in this clean mix of sound each listen.But for me the Money sound is Tousaint's voice. He is not a belter or crooner, but has the exact singing  gift that makes me love the equally brilliant Bill Withers: just like Withers, Toussaint sings with the intimacy of talking, inflecting his voice so economically to the notes that it feels like he is conversing with you directly. He makes great vocals feel so direct but so casual, which makes him all the more genius.\When you don't have a class A voice, understanding that limitation and turning it into an advantage makes you a class A singer. Toussaint's ability in this, and his  second to none writing and arranging skills make this album essential.Sometimes the best is right in your face and you don't see it.
