Description by OLDIES.com:

Containing some of the best songs he's ever written, Allen Toussaint's 1975 "swing for the fences" attempt at an all out masterpiece. Somewhat of a concept album, with reoccurring instrumental themes usually based on the title track popping out between songs, this album spawned at least two hits for other artists.

Entertainment Reviews:

Uncut - p.100
5 stars out of 5 -- "[A]dventurous, exploring studio electronics and using subtly inventive chord structures."
Mojo (Publisher) - p.115
3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his 1975 solo outing is a beautiful record....There are examples of the kind of Southern funk he pioneered with The Meters."
Mojo (Publisher) - p.68
"There's a warm spacious feel, a great train song...and a few sharp observations about relationships..."
