Best Of New Orleans Rhythm & Blues
In the heart of New Orleans, studio owner Cosimo Matassa smiled. Working with producers like Dave Bartholomew and Allen Toussaint produced the sounds that he had in his head. Like blues - but not the rural, 'work-up-this-morning' and acoustic guitar kind. A more funky, piano-based style, with horns and drums that kept everything a-rollin'. That kind of thing. A precursor of rock and roll; it was a sound meant for juke boxes.
