AMG Review of The New Lee Dorsey
Richie Unterberger
All Music GuideLess than a year had passed between this and Lee Dorsey's previous LP, Ride Your Pony, and Allen Toussaint was again the prime creative force, writing material and co-producing. The sound, however, had definitely taken a step in a funkier direction. It's still lighthearted, though not lightweight, soul music with a New Orleans bounce, paced by the Top Ten hit "Working in a Coal Mine" and also including the Top 30 follow-up "Holy Cow." Other than those hit singles, the songs, though not exactly throwaways, aren't up to the same level.
There is never a Funky Friday when you cannot post a tune sung by Lee Dorsey, written by Allen Toussaint, and played by the Meters
