TOUSSAINT / LIFE, LOVE AND FAITH / LP /

(US / REPRISE / MS 2062 / 1972 / MEDIA:EX- / JACKET:EX)

バックはもちろんTHE METERS！メロウでスウィートなファンクネスが詰まった、男泣きニューオーリンズ・ソウル名作！
ニューオーリンズ・サウンドの最重要人物ALLEN TOUSSAINTのソロ名義1972年作。THE METERSを中心とした鉄壁の演奏はもちろん、彼の歌心が堪能できる一枚であり、スウィートな温もりと凛としたクールネスが同居する、メロウで慈愛に満ちた心地よさに包まれた「SOUL SISTER」はHEPTONESにロックステディ・カヴァーされたり、FREE SOULとしても評価され、「GONE TOO FAR」はFATBOY SLIM「SLASH DOT DASH」ネタになり、POINTER SISTERSやFRED LESLIE’S MISSING LINK FEAT. THE SWEET DIVINESにもカヴァーされ、TYPE 4「DIRTNECK (COVER OF “JUNGLE BROTHER” BY JUNGLE BROTHERS)」でもサンプリングされました。D-TRACK AND NICHOLAS CRAVEN FEAT. AKHENATON「SOROCHE」で使われたドラマティックな「FINGERS AND TOES」にも痺れます！US ORIGINAL盤！
