Deirdre Wilson Tabac
Posted on May 28, 2006 by hcrink
Kind of a hard album to describe - a bit too horny to be "folk funk", but a bit too whussed out to be "horn rock". It would seem that "the Tabac" was the brainchild of producer Sonny Casella - who, in the liner notes, reminds us that "You got to dig it to dig it". Anyhow, one of the highlights here is definitely their cover of the Beatles "Get Back". A very cool version in the sea of less than inspired Beatles covers one must wade through when dealing with marginal records of this era. Most of the other tracks here are not quite as outright funky, but they do have a cool, beat-heavy sound with a singer/songwriter meets Stax/Volt sort of feel. All in all, it's actually pretty decent and soulful for a record made by people that look like 70's Jr. High School teachers.
