Early Solo Recording On Vinyl LP!
Wax Love present a reissue of an early Allen Toussaint record, originally released in 1958. One of Toussaint's earliest solo recordings. Compelling and soulful New Orleans R&B, featuring the songs "Up The Creek", "Nowhere To Go" and "Nashua".
Perhaps the best-known tune among the lot is the jaunty 'Java,' which took on new life thanks to a chart-topping remake by Al Hirt. The trumpeter turned it into his unofficial theme song, ultimately making a 30-plus-year career out of it. 'Wham Tousan' and 'Pelican Parade' each quickly rev up to full throttle with the saxes taking on and going head-to-head with Toussaint's rollicking runs up and down the 88s.
