My name is Mills Baker; I write about love, culture, art, religion, mental illness, philosophy, memory, politics and the rather random.

Louie - Allen Toussaint.

I didn’t want to upload this track without also uploading “Either,” “Cast Your Fate to the Wind,” and “Number Nine,” but I feel compelled to share something from Allen Toussaint’s “From a Whisper to a Scream,” as it’s one of the happiest and coolest albums I’ve heard.

Toussaint is mostly famous for writing songs popularized by others, including “Working in a Coalmine” (made famous by Lee Dorsey, but also covered by Devo), which is wonderful. But this album is just spectacular.

I’ll probably post more of these, so I hope you think they’re all right.
