Soon after, he was playing on hits for \u003cstrong\u003eLee Dorsey\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eThe Supremes\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eThe Temptations\u003c\/strong\u003e. As an original member of \u003cstrong\u003eThe Meters\u003c\/strong\u003e, Leo wrote instant classics “\u003cem\u003eCissy Strut\u003c\/em\u003e” and “\u003cem\u003eHey Pocky A–Way\u003c\/em\u003e,” but his greatest moment on record may be totally unknown, until now… Recorded at \u003cstrong\u003eCosimo Matassa\u003c\/strong\u003e’s \u003cstrong\u003eJazz City Studio\u003c\/strong\u003e in New Orleans in the early ‘70s and then lost to the ages, Another Side is one of Leo Nocentelli’s most personal and definitive moments ever cut to tape. A mixture of funky folk and rootsy, raw emotion (think Bill Withers and James Taylor meeting Allen Toussaint at Link Wray’s Three Track Shack), this previously unheard album shines like the sun on a spring day on the New Orleans fairgrounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBacking Nocentelli is an all-star line-up of New Orleans royalty, including \u003cstrong\u003eAllen Toussaint\u003c\/strong\u003e (piano), \u003cstrong\u003eJames Black\u003c\/strong\u003e (drums), and both \u003cstrong\u003eGeorge Porter Jr.\u003c\/strong\u003e (bass) and \u003cstrong\u003eZigaboo Modeliste\u003c\/strong\u003e (drums) of \u003cstrong\u003eThe Meters\u003c\/strong\u003e. Deeply introspective, the album features nine original songs by Nocentelli, plus a soulful rendition of \u003cstrong\u003eElton John\u003c\/strong\u003e’s “\u003cem\u003eYour Song\u003c\/em\u003e.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHalf a century later, these recordings sound just as fresh and engaging as the day they were recorded. What makes \u003cem\u003eAnother Side\u003c\/em\u003e even more extraordinary, however, is the fact that the album—which could have easily become a classic in the ‘70s singer-songwriter canon—sat untouched for decades; miraculously surviving the devastating blow of Hurricane Katrina, only to be found 2,000 miles away at a Southern California swap meet in 2018 by record collector Mike Nishita.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album’s incredible journey is documented in the liner notes by \u003cstrong\u003eSam Sweet\u003c\/strong\u003e (New York Times, Los Angeles Times), who spoke with Nocentelli and Nishita about the recording process and re-discovery of the tapes.
