Earl King with Allen Toussaint & The Meters "Street Parade" 1972

Funky 1972 tracks that should have fueled a comeback for the Crescent City mainstay but didn't (a lease deal with Atlantic fell through). Allen Toussaint was apparently in charge of the sessions, which produced updates of "Mama and Papa" and "A Mother's Love" as well as a bevy of fresh nuggets (notably the fanciful "Medieval Days," later revived by King on Black Top), and the two-part title item. (Bill Dahl, Allmusic)For the past few years, I've dreamt that this would make it onto CD one day. That day came earlier this year!! Where else can you hear Allen Toussaint, The Meters and Mr King together? From the 'fonk' of the title track (split into two parts, and also with the rhythm track re-used for 'Am I Your Dog'), the humourous 'Medieval Days' to the New Orleans R&B ballads ('Mother's Love'), there's a nice mix here. There are those Meters riffs in there (which also appeared on Dr John's In the Right Place album), and Allen Toussaint's guiding hand here: some of the material is clearly his ('Some People', 'Love Look Out for Me') - who else writes such quirky hornlines?!?!)(Record Runner)
I've never heard anything like this record. It's soulful and steeped in nice grooves. Nothing like King's other work( which is also great, but not like this). The Meters and Mr. Toussaint create a swinging rhythm and blues background for Mr. King to sing some wonderful, interesting soul music. (Funky Rhythms)trax:
01 Street Parade 02 You Make Me Feel Good 03 Some People Are 04 Fallin 05 A Mother's Love 06 Mama And Papa 07 Medieval Days 08 This Is What I Call Living 09 Do the Grind 10 A Part Of Me 11 Love Look Out For Me 12 Street Parade Part 2 13 All My Love 14 I'm Gonna Keep On Trying 15 Up On Her Hill 16 Am I Your Dog Part 1 17 Am I Your Dog Part 2 18 The Real McCoy
