Hard riffing African funk! "Kelen Ati Len" may well be the tightest
tune we've ever heard from Orchestra Baobab – a really heavy-hitting
number that snaps along with the energy of the best American funky 45s
of the time, but which also has some wonderful chanted vocals!
"Souleymane" is a bit more conventional, but still pretty great too –
with this chugging groove that has the reed lines woven way down into
the rhythms!By Dusty
Whirlwinds is sweet keyboard soul from Deodato – a set that steps off nicely from the strengths of his big hits on CTI, hitting a similarly flowing groove that's really great! The instrumentation here is a bit more expanded than before, but never in a way that buries the keyboards – and Deodato's right out front on a range of electric keys that get some great support from John Tropea's finely-honed work on guitar! Titles include "Havana Strut", "Whirlwinds", "West 42nd Street", and a nice cover of Steely Dan's "Do It Again". And heck, even the album's version of Glen Miller's "Moonlight Serenade" manages to come off like a funk tune!By Dusty
Big Crown Records is proud to present the reissue of this uber rare
underground cult classic Running The Mardi Gras by Boco. Those lucky
enough to find an original copy are paying upwards of $1000.00 for this
truly unique psych rock / funk gem on 45.
From the title to the sound to the cryptic lyrics “Running the Mardi
Gras” seems to confirm all the mystique that surrounds the southern
Louisiana Bayous and Cajun culture. This record is a family affair. It
started one morning when one Mr. Latour, the father of the group, was
shaving in the mirror and a song struck him. It was to be about Mardi
Gras, not the beaded revelry of New Orleans familiar to most, but the
traditions of rural Louisiana, where one would “run the Mardi Gras,”
going house to house getting home cooking from the neighbors. He would
sing the song every day in the car and the children of the family soaked
up the spirit of the song.
Playing and performing was just part of life for the family. Mr.
Latour had bought studio equipment for his children to record on, which
he kept in their house. Growing up in the shadow of New Orleans, the
Latour children listened to the sounds of Funk and R&B that came in
on the radio, which was the biggest influence on the family projects’
sound. Together the four Latour children, with the eponymous Boco Latour
on lead vocals, and a couple of local musicians recorded “Running the
Mardi Gras” in the Latour home. Feeling that they really had something,
the makeshift band decided to record a b-side. The guitarist had a song
he had been working on and they recorded what would become “Smile” as
well. The two songs were pressed under the Laughing Eye label, nothing
more than the heading under which the Latour family released their
music, and mostly sold the 45 at gigs around southern Louisiana. The
recorded output under Laughing Eye was understandably limited, but
locals still remember well Boco’s powerful voice from her shows in clubs
around the bayous. Boco and George Latour still live around Baton Rouge
and continue to make music and play in the area.By David Haffner

Beautiful grooves from the Italian scene of the late 60s – definitely
one of the lesser-known soundtracks of the time, but work we'd rank
right up there with the best by Piero Piccioni or Armando Trovajoli!
There's a fair bit of trippy sounds on the record – from fuzzy guitar to
weirdly watery keyboards – and tunes move between funky "jerk" and
"shake" numbers that almost have a sound library funk feel, to mellower,
moodier ones that sometimes feature wordless vocals from the great Edda
Dell'Orso!
