LEE DORSEY - Ride Your Pony & The New Lee Dorsey (SC 11086 & 11087)

“...these CDs provide excellent listening and are a fine tribute to a legend.” - offBEAT

“...fabulous albums.” - Record Collector

“If the only Lee Dorsey you know is hits like ‘Ya Ya,’ then the reissues of Ride Your Pony and The New Lee Dorsey should be a pleasant surprise. With his laidback (and slightly behind the beat) delivery and Allen Toussaint’s arrangements, Dorsey epitomized New Orleans R&B in the ‘60s.” - Music Monitor

“Some fantastic Allen Toussaint-produced, Meters backed soul food from New Orleans...Dorsey’s debut and follow-up albums for Amy are swelled to double their original length with 11 rare bonus cuts.” - Mojo

“The Sundazed reissue of the 1966 album Ride Your Pony contains the entirety of the original Amy album of the same name...not to mention an extremely generous 11 bonus cuts culled from the 1965-68 time period.” - Timeout

Ride Your Pony **** The New Lee Dorsey ****“...classic mid-’60s LPs re-packaged with extensive bonus tracks.” - Q

“Lee Dorsey’s funky styleness has made him a king to fans of sixties and New Orleans soul....the slippery funk and laid back vocals are indeed the stuff of legend, and classics abound on these two original releases both of which are now jam-packed with bonus tracks!” - Mohair Sweets

“These collections are well annotated and include great photos and notes. Both provide entertaining New Orleans listening and are an excellent tribute to legend and a great guy.” - Living Blues Magazine

“These joyously rocking CDs are thoughtfully produced with excellent notes, and deserve to sell as well as the original singles.” - Dirty Linen

The New Lee Dorsey “The sound and performance are what makes his version of New Orleans R&B what it is. Funky but groovy.” - Yeah Yeah Yeah

“Largely unheard of outside of rare groove, sample-loving communities, Lee Dorsey finally gets his due as the vaults of Amy records are emptied onto CD. There’s soul aplenty here, as well as straight funk breakbeats for all the DJs, and it’s a nonstop party. Even the slow songs rock in the best of the southern soul tradition. The addition of a whopping 23 bonus tracks...make the discs essential for almost everyone—soul fans, country fans, hip-hop fans and those folks who are interested in the intersection of rock and soul...” - Rockpile

“Loose New Orleans grooves, easy sing-along songs, and the inimitable voice of Mr. Lee himself. With a little ‘Ride Your Pony’ and ‘Holy Cow’ on the stereo, it’s a party, y’all.” - amped
