House of the Rising Sun (180g) [LP]

Idris Mohammed's "House Of The Rising Sun" is a glorious throwback to the glory days of disco music. It is one of the best albums he has ever recorded. The album includes a funky "Chopin" cover, "Theme From New York City", the down and dirty funky cover of "Hey Pocky A Way", "Pipe Stem" (a Muhammad original with Latin jazz leanings) and " I Know You Don't Want Me No More".

The absolute highlight of the album is the incredibly bubbling instrumental "Sudan", the only other Muhammad original on the album. What this man pulls off on the drums is absolutely amazing. Contributing musicians include Eric Gale, Don Grolnick and David Sanborn.
