Sam & The Soul Machine’s Po’k Bones & Rice brings to light the legendary group thought of as the missing link between The Meters and the Neville Brothers. This reissue contains an entire unreleased album recorded at Cosimo Matassa’s legendary Camp Street studio in 1969, featuring group members Gary Brown on sax and Sam Henry on keyboards, with guest appearances by the likes of the Meters’ “Zigaboo” Modeliste. This album is augmented by early 70s tracks by Sam Henry as a soloist, whose combination of the funky and the svelte is no less than Allen Toussaint-esque (really). The Soul Machine album is offered as a companion to the release of The Fabulous Fantoms (Just Having A Party DEL LP/CD 0035), as it uncovers a funk album of grade-A quality that languished unreleased in New Orleans for decades.

Rough and ready -- and a perfect slice of deep deep funk!

P’ok Bones and Rice is of the slickest slabs of vintage New Orleans funk that you’re likely to ever come across...This is absolutely essential funk.
