Artists starting with The Wild Tchoupitoulas

The Wild Tchoupitoulas, “The Wild Tchoupitoulas” (Mango, 1976).
On one level, this is just classic New Orleans rock and roll, featuring assorted Nevilles and Meters, but it came out on a great reggae label at the height of reggae’s glory days for a reason: here NO’s influence on Jamaica comes back, for music whose loping, hypnotic rhythms and warm yet haunting call-and-response vocals are all-American yet still somehow distant, exotic.
Try 5, 6.
