Lee Dorsey...
Recently I've been buying melancholic, depressing and generally low-key music. Turin Brakes, Ben Folds, Kings of Convenience... All very good, but not really party music. So to lighten up a bit I've been digging into Lee Dorsey's catalogue.
Now, in accordance with Arno's tip and some reviews I read, I'm still looking for the 2005 re-release of Yes we can/Night people, which features two of his 70's albums with Allen Toussaint with the Meters backing Dorsey up. If anyone has an idea for a Dutch or Swedish site that has it, please let me know. The man just has a cool voice. And he plays cool songs.
Lottie Mo was his first hit in 1961, but this take is a version done in 1968. I don't know much about it except that it feels like the Meters were playing on this cut. So have fun with the 1968 version of Lottie Mo.

Alternatively, you could ask for a copy ;p
