Lee's really cooking on all burners here, working with the production team of Allen Toussaint and Marshall Sehorn, and getting some incredible backing from The Meters who are at the height of their powers during this period! In a way, the set's one of the ultimate New Orleans sessions of the 70s, a culmination of all the best elements that were percolating together in the 60s indie underground, simmered together perfectly in a tighter 70s Polygram funk mode!
Includes the massive original version of "Yes We Can Can" -- way better than any of the subsequent cover versions, plus great takes on "Who's Gonna Help Brother Get Further", "Sneakin' Sally Through The Alley", "Gator Tail", "Tears Tears & More Tears", "When The Bill's Paid", and "Occapella". Includes previously unreleased tracks "If I Were A Carpenter", "A Place Where We Can Be Free", "As Quiet As It's Kept", and "Lonely Avenue"
