Various - Sehorn's Soul Farm, Charly R&B CRB1032 * 1982 UK VINYL LP * NEW ORLEANS R&B

The Allen Toussaint-produced tracks are as good, if not better, than anything else he produced before or after. The bulk of the material on this compilation was originally released on locally distributed labels like DeeSu, Sansu, and Tou-Sea, all of which were owned by Toussaint and Marshall Sehorn. Some only sold a few hundred singles, others were unissued, but that is not a reflection on the quality of the recordings. There’s a few familiar names here, Aaron Neville, Earl King, and Ernie K-Doe—but the lesser-known artists steal the show throughout. Case in point is the energetic Warren Lee, with “Star Revue,” and the infectious “Climb the Ladder”. Another highlight is the oft-recorded Eldridge Holmes. Possessing a bluesier style than the other artists here, his jaw-dropping “Love Affair” is particularly appealing. The Aaron Neville hard-to-ignore pairing, “Hercules” and “Strutting On Sunday” are worth noting as the arrangements on these songs owe nothing to New Orleans, but in fact are contemporary (circa early1970s) urban soul. There’s a couple of former Clowns here, as in Huey Smith and the Clowns, “Scarface” John Williams and Curley Moore, who both prove to be outstanding solo artists in their own right
