HERE´S MORE INFO!!
BIO: Eddie Bo is one of the most important and least known of the great funksters of the 60's and 70's. His recording career, stretching from the mid-50's on started out in New Orleans R&B and moved on, in the mid-60's to some of the grooviest soul and funk made in New Orleans, or anywhere else for that matter. While he made plenty of his own records he was also a major producer, arranger and  collaborator on scores of other records. His importance to the New Orleans scene can not be overestimated. To put it in perspective, where James Brown is the Charlie Parker of funk, Eddie Bo is the music's Thelonious Monk, working with a strange, sometimes unfamiliar palette of sounds and rhythms, which reveal their beauty and complexity a little more with every listen. Much of this palette is common to New Orleans funk and soul: the drums of the Wild Indian tribes and the "second line", the soulful piano of players like Professor Longhair, James Booker, Huey Piano Smith, Fats Domino and Bo himself, and the spice of the wild and unique mix of cultures that has been in New Orleans for hundreds of years.
