Lead vocalist of one of the baddest, grooviest funk bands to come from ‘Nawlins. Plays some mean keys and writes for this album. No FCC issues.
*** (3:31) Solid funk drive.
** (3:41) Title track. New Orleans anthem.
* (4:25) Attempt at a rock love song.
** (3:54) Funky. A little organ play.
** (3:34) Low-key endearing song. More like Elton John than funk.
*** (4:29) Light groove, medium pace. Great arrangement. Love song. I might really love this song if I heard it covered by a great singer.
*** (2:58) Huh. Papa John makes funky country. It’s actually fun.
* (3:11) Going for Elton John again.
* (3:51) Kind of a ska song.
**** (3:49) Funk-rocker. Redeems the record. First of all, the title is so much fun to say.
** (4:41) Bluesy ballad about the New Year’s drinkin’ blues.
