1972's "Life, Love and Faith" was Toussaint's first album for Warner Reprise. While a soul record through and through, this effort from the multi-talented New Orleans native shares some of the singer/songwriter vibe of his contemporary labelmates, such as Randy Newman, Joni Mitchell, Lowell George and Little Feat. Stand out tracks include "Soul Sister," "Victims Of The Darkness" and "On Your Way Down."

"Here, it seems as if Toussaint has found every permutation of his signature sound, which is pretty much the sound of New Orleans R&B. He revives the classic, easy-rolling groove on 'Soul Sister'; turns it seriously, deeply funky on 'Goin' Down' and 'Victims of the Darkness'; gets trippy on 'Out of the City (Into Country Life)'; treads nimbly with a Philly soul variation on 'She Once Belonged to Me'; and crafts a tremendous, dramatic ballad with 'On Your Way Down,' one of the finest songs he ever wrote. It's a textured, multi-layered record that may not be the purest dose of Toussaint, but is the one album that truly exhibits how deep and wide his talents ran." - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, allmusic.com
