Even if he's remembered chiefly for the signature hit ‘Working In A Coalmine’, it was a remarkably consistent and winning combination for the vast majority of his recording career. Following their first time CD collection of his earlier Toussaint-produced sides, built around his Bell records album Ride Your Pony, Rev-Ola follow up with another built around its follow-up - The New Lee Dorsey - along with a slew of 45 side and rarities bringing us up to a mighty 23 tracks...backed by the legendary Meters, and packed with good humour and soul dancers; this is an amazing introduction to the work of one of the Crescent City's finest..."
