King Cake Party back cover
King Cake - Italian Review

Italian review:

Nell'ormai lontano 1990 arrivava nei nostri negozi di dischi preferiti (ennesimo capitolo dell'operazione nostalgia, lo so, non riesco a dimenticare certe cose) un disco – anzi un CD – dalla copertina colorata a nome di uno sconosciuto Doug Legacy e i suoi Zydeco Party Band. Incuriosiva quel nome e, allora, tutti a guardare le note interne.

Porca paletta, il disco è prodotto da Jim Keltner, uno dei migliori batteristi in circolazione, e ci suona pure. Ma mica è l'unico, ci sono anche la cantante Syd Straw e, udite, udite David Lindley e Ry Cooder. Si compra a scatola chiusa (quando c'è Cooder lo faccio) e via, a casa. Il tempo di accendere l'impianto e "King Cake" parte e ti lascia a bocca aperta. Ritmo puro New Orleans, grande voce e Cooder con una slide da brividi. Si preannuncia un gran disco questo "King Cake Party" (1990, Demon – 206).

Il fisarmonicista, nonché pianista Legacy ha una gran voce e parecchio carattere, come dimostra anche nelle bellissime e seguenti "Zydeco Shoes" di Rockin' Sidney, col bel violino nelle mani di Lisa Haley, o nella cover blues di Taj Mahal "Cakewalk Into Town" dove risulta in evidenza il basso e la tuba di Freebo, co-produttore assieme a Keltner dell'album, e la slide guitar di Mark Shark. "Crime Don't Pay" sembra uscita da quel capolavoro che è "Kiko" dei Los Lobos con l'aggiunta che qui c'è uno stellare Cooder che ci mette tutti al tappeto con un solo di slide guitar veramente travolgente. Peccato solo che la sua presenza sia limitata a soli due brani, ma già questo vale per tutto l'album.

"Evil" è il famosissimo blues di Howlin' Wolf, in una bella versione con fisa e slide guitar tutto ritmo e anima. La solare "He Hates His Threads" si fa amare da subito anche grazie all'intervento di Lindley, che non è l'ultimo arrivato. "Sweet Cajun Baby" è puro sound della Louisiana, tra country e blues con ritmi caraibici a colorare il tutto. Dal bayou ci arriva pure "Closin' Time" (c'è ancora Lindley al bouzouki), mentre "Cakewalk" ci porta allegramente verso la bellissima ballata, in stile quasi Tex-Mex, "Smoky Places" che gira alla perfezione coi suoi toni altamente suggestivi tanto da posizionarsi tra le migliori canzoni di tutto l'album.

Chiudono la pianistica "No Self Control", che risente delle influenze di Randy Newman, e "Ya Ya", la celebre canzone di Lee Dorsey, quasi un emblema per questo genere musicale non ancora ben conosciuto in Italia, ma che non può non piacere. Se dopo aver ascoltato questo buon disco di Doug Legacy non vi viene una irrefrenabile voglia di partire per New Orleans e la Louisiana io un giretto dal dottore ce lo farei. -- Consiglio d'amico.

 

Back in 1990, he arrived in our favorite record stores (yet another chapter of the nostalgia operation, I know, I can't forget certain things) a record - or rather a CD - with a colored cover in the name of a stranger Doug Legacy and his Zydeco Party Band.

The name was curious, and then everyone looked at the internal notes. Holy shovel, the record is produced by Jim Keltner, one of the best drummers on the market, and he plays there as well. But not the only one, singer Syd Straw is there too, and you hear David Lindley and Ry Cooder. You buy it in a closed box (when there is Cooder, I do it) and go home. The time to turn on the system and "King Cake" starts and leaves you speechless. Pure New Orleans rhythm, great voice and Cooder with a thrilling slide. This "King Cake Party" (1990, Demon - 206) promises to be a great album.

Legacy accordionist and pianist has a great voice and a lot of character, as also shown in the beautiful and following "Zydeco Shoes" by Rockin 'Sidney, with the beautiful violin in the hands of Lisa Haley, or in the blues cover of Taj Mahal "Cakewalk Into Town" where Freebo's bass and tuba, co-producer with Keltner of the album, and Mark Shark's slide guitar are in evidence. "Crime Don't Pay" seems to come from that masterpiece that is "Kiko" by Los Lobos with the addition that here there is a stellar Cooder that puts us all to the mat with just one really overwhelming slide guitar. Just a shame that his presence is limited to only two tracks, but this is already true for the whole album.

"Evil" is the world-famous Howlin 'Wolf blues, in a beautiful version with solid and slide guitar all rhythm and soul. The solar "He Hates His Threads" is immediately loved thanks to the intervention of Lindley, who is not the last to arrive. "Sweet Cajun Baby" is pure Louisiana sound, between country and blues with Caribbean rhythms to color everything. From the bayou there also comes "Closin 'Time" (there is still Lindley al bouzouki), while "Cakewalk" brings us cheerfully to the beautiful ballad, almost Tex-Mex style, "Smoky Places" that runs perfectly with its tones highly suggestive enough to rank among the best songs of the entire album.

They close the "No Self Control" piano, which is influenced by Randy Newman, and "Ya Ya", the famous song by Lee Dorsey, almost an emblem for this musical genre not yet well known in Italy, but which can not fail to please. If after listening to this good Doug Legacy record you don't get an overwhelming urge to leave for New Orleans and Louisiana I go to the doctor for a ride. --Friend's Council.

...And the following number is already 20 years old, but still perfectly suited Mardi Gras to celebrate the Louisianischen Carnival, especially since we tonight a live show play - "No Self Control" was released as a vinyl LP in 1990, and in 1994 came the Compilation "King Cake Party" then on CD out - Ladies & gentlemen here is New Orleans Big Voice Doug Legacy with "No Self Control" and I think he plays also piano, accordion videos there are some of him on YouTube.
No Self Control Doug Legacy & The Zydeco Party Band King Cake Party 1990

Und die folgende Nummer ist schon 20 Jahre alt, jedoch immer noch bestens geeignet, Mardi Gras, den Louisianischen Karneval zu feiern, zumal wir heute abend auch eine Live Show spielen – "No Self Control" erschien als Vinyl Langspielplatte 1990, und 1994 kam die Kompilation "King Cake Party" dann auch auf CD heraus – Ladies & gentlemen hier ist New Orleans Big Voice Doug Legacy mit "No Self Control" und ich glaube er spielt hier auch Piano, Akkordeon Videos gibt es ja einige von ihm auf YouTube. ... | Permalink
