Mac Rebbenack was an expatriate from New Orleans living in L.A. when he 'borrowed' some studio time from Sonny and Cher to record his debut LP with other Crescent City folk. The result was a murky funky fusion mix of chant and voodoo ritual set to a polyrhythmic stew that Atlantic Records head Ahmet Ertegun called "Boogaloo Crap". Thankfully he relented and allowed this now almost forgotten gem to be released. This album is a perfect late night companion for drifting off into the mist on whatever trip you may find yourself to be on. Good stuff.
