So, I was lookin' through some stuff as I listed some CDs for sale and I happened across Work Done On Premises. Saw it had no reviews. Man this cannot stand. So here I am to tell you this is the Good Gumbo from De Boyz Wit De Noize. This is indispensable early Rads. Not a bad cut to be found and Funky. Oh my!
"Work" is a live set from Tipitinas in 1980. Starts off with "Hard Core", and it doesn't get much harder, moves into "Cannibal Girls", "those N'Awlins ladies ain't no ladies at all!" then to "Light Up My Pipe", "My dealer's on the phone, he's tryin, tryin to turn me on", and the absolute funk masterpiece "Red Dress", "Tight like that". I went right out and bought a tight red dress for my lady friend! I'll leave the rest for you to discover.
This CD shows why these guys (and The Nevilles) close out the Jazz Fest every year. They ARE White New Orleans Funk Rock and Roll!
They have a Cult like loyal following all over the USA so if they come swimmin into your town do yourself a favor and get on down. As Ed says "Fish Head Music is still good".
Twin guitar attack from Dave Malone (older bro of subdude Tommy Malone) and Camille "The Virtuoso" Baudoin, great keyboards from Ed the Head, the great Reggie Scanlon on bass, and Frank Bua on drums. Prepare for about 3 hours of monster rock and roll. They have a song list in the hundreds so you never know what you might hear. Just get there and hear it for yourself! Nice fellas too! Highly Recommended!!
