Montreal's legendary eight-piece funk outfit Cane and Able brought Caribbean swagger, soul, blues, and psychedelic edge to every groove. Frontman Frenchie Thompson's commanding presence paired with a full horn section—featuring former Dragonaires trumpeter Norris Ridguard—created an unstoppable sound that conquered France in the early '70s. This self-titled LP captures the band at their peak, showcasing Thompson's "Girl You Move Me," Blinky Bostic's percussive gem "Who's Gonna Take The Weight," and infectious covers of Wilson Pickett's "Don't Knock My Love," "Green Grass," and "Toe Hold." A lost funk masterpiece that deserves rediscovery.v
