Will Porter: Tick Tock Tick (featuring Dr. John)

Originally released in 2015, this album is a fun reissue of the album by  soul singer Will Porter teamed up with the legendary Dr. John as well as all stars including Betty Lavette, The Womack Brothers and  Jimmy Haslip. There’s a ton of STAXY horns and swampy grooves, with Porter teamed with Dr. John and The Womack Brothers for a grooving title tune and a funky New Orleans paced “When The Battle Is Over.” Lavette is strong on the soulful “Make You Feel My Love” and the Womack Brothers get down and gritty on “I’m Blue (Shoo Be Doo)”.  There’s some nice gospel work on “The California Sun” and the gorgeous blue ballad “I Can Do Bad By Myself”. The whole album has a “live” and immediate feel, making put on your dancing shoes.
