Ernie K-Doe: Emperor Of New Orleans (2-CD)

(Sunset Boulevard Records) 28 tracks, digisleeve.

A collection of greatest hits, b-sides and previously unreleased tracks. The only K-Doe collection available. Produced by Allen Toussaint with the assistance of The Meters. You can't think of Ernie K-Doe without thinking of "Mother-In-Law," his 1961 chart hit and the only pop hit on his resume.

As this disc proves, K-Doe recorded many great songs. Those unfamiliar with K-Doe's career will undoubtedly be blown away by "A Certain Girl" and "'Tain't It the Truth," two classics of New Orleans R&B Toussaint's soulful, infectious arrangements beautifully complement K-Doe's eccentric vocals, taking the singer through the twisted history of Southern soul, from the mud-burning Memphis sound of Stax ("Who Ever's Thrilling You Is Killing Me") to the Crescent City funk of the Meters ("Lawdy Mama") and beyond.

What K-Doe lacks as a traditional singer, he more than makes up for as a pure entertainer, and it's impossible to imagine that tracks like the sex-crazed "Here Come the Girls" could have gained such libidinous transcendence in the hands of a more conventional performer.

"Ernie K-Doe"

Ernie K-Doe was born Ernest Kador in New Orleans in 1937, the son of a Baptist minister. As Ernie K-Doe he was a member of that group of young black New Orleans R&B artists who turned so much national attention towards the funky Crescent City sounds in the early Sixties. In K-Doe's case, it was through that compulsive R&B novelty, 'Mother-In-Law', which rocketed to the top of the Hot Hundred charts on Minit in the spring of 1961.

He had further small hits on Minit but he couldn't repeat his initial success. An extrovert showman, he's still in demand in the New Orleans clubs, singing modern soul songs to local audiences
