Allen Toussaint's debut as a solo artist, "The Wild Sound Of New Orleans" was released in 1958 under the name of Tousan. In the 60s, he established himself as a songwriter, producer and arranger for a number of labels and generated hits like 'Working In The Coal Mine' for Lee Dorsey that got to #8 in the Billboard Hot 100 in 1966. Other classic tracks that Toussaint either wrote, produced or arranged included 'Fortune Teller', Lipstick Traces' and 'Ooh Poo Pah Do' It was only in 1970 that he found time to record another solo album, aptly entitled "Toussaint". As well as serving up his own version Of 'Working In The Coal Mine', Toussaint recorded other originals like 'From A Whisper To A Scream' and 'Everything I Do Is Gonna Be Funky'. There were also four instrumental tracks - 'Pickles', 'Louie', 'Either' and a sublime version of 'Cast Your Fate To The Wind' listed as 'Allen Toussaint at the piano'. The original version of Toussaint was released in 1970 on Scepter records and is now hailed as a soulful classic. Ace were delighted to first reissue it in 1985 as "From A Whisper To A Scream" with the addition of a bonus track and with a slightly different running order. On "Toussaint" we present the original album as Allen Toussaint intended it to be heard. Remastered to perfection this is an essential purchase.
