The New Lee Dorsey by Lee Dorsey, released on Stateside in 1966. Review by Richie Unterberger Less than a year had passed between this and Lee Dorsey's previous LP, Ride Your Pony, and Allen Toussaint was again the prime creative force, writing material and co-producing. The sound, however, had definitely taken a step in a funkier direction. It's still lighthearted, though not lightweight, soul music with a New Orleans bounce, paced by the Top Ten hit "Working in a Coal Mine" and also including the Top 30 follow-up "Holy Cow." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCuWUwu1Rh8&list=RDfCuWUwu1Rh8&start_radio=1 #LeeDorsey #AllenToussaint #TheMeters #NewOrleans #Funk #Soul #Music
