King Floyd: Well Done [Chimneyville, 1975]
Floyd's quiet, chocolatey voice--cf. Lee Dorsey, Aaron Neville--is prized by seekers after the New Orleans dispensation, but he's never grooved me without skipping like a cheap bootleg. So I'm pleased to report that side one of his fourth LP, climaxing with the neglected regional hit "I Feel Like Dynamite," provides songs as winsome as the straight-ahead Caribbeanisms (even some reggae) of the New Orleans r&b behind. Location of studio: Jackson, Mississippi.
