We have lost another giant.
From a
Whisper to a Scream.
The album predates the Sea-Saint era, it was
recorded in Los Angeles but with a cast of New Orleans players including
Mac Rebennack, John Boudreaux, Clyde Kerr and Earl Turbinton. Released
on the English Kent label the album wasn't given wide distribution in
the states and quickly disappeared from print. The record featured
Toussaint versions of Working in a Coal Mine and Everything I Do Gonna
Be Funky both of which were previously released by Lee Dorsey.

I dug this post up because of a comment on your latest JB post. I remember having read your write-up on Toussaint before. It shook me up a bit. Toussaint has been among my favourite writers/ producers for quite a while, but nobody is perfect etc.
However, it is because of of your (and the rest of the crew) deep knowledge of the NO music scene that I enjoy your blogs.
Keep on shaking me up!
Very nice, I'm enjoying one of the best Toussaint I've ever heard of...
Never seen before in my country
Thank you KingCake, very precious Toussaint indeed.
