50 track double CD set featuring New Orleans legend Allen Toussaint’s solo recordings as well as his best production hits for Lee Dorsey, The Meters, Ernie K. Doe and many more. Spanning over 20 years of his prolific career this substantial collection covers his beginnings as a session pianist, his first solo recordings in ‘58 under the name Al Tousan and journeys late into the ’70s with his classics for the likes of Lee Dorsey and The Meters. There are also many original versions of tracks that would later become hits for The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds, Herman’s Hermits, The Dave Clark Five, Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett. Essential for Toussaint followers and fans of the history of the New Orleans sound.
