Label: RUSTONE 1406! Two superb New Orleans R&B sides from Willie West, one of the great but often overlooked voices to emerge from the city's rich rhythm & blues scene.

"Willie Knows How" is an irresistible dancer driven by a strong groove, punchy horns and West's effortlessly soulful vocal delivery. Combining elements of R&B, early soul and New Orleans funk, it remains a favourite among DJs looking for authentic dancefloor material. On the flip side, "It's No Use To Try" offers a slightly deeper and more emotional performance, showcasing the warmth and versatility that made Willie West such a respected singer among collectors and musicians alike.

A fantastic two-sider from one of New Orleans' finest talents and an essential repro for fans of classic R&B, early soul and the Crescent City's unmistakable sound.
