Formed in Montreal, eight-piece funk band Cane and Abel melded Caribbean elements with soul, blues and psych, frontman Frenchie Thompson holding plenty of bite and the full horn section including former Dragonaires trumpeter Norris Ridguard. After early singles on GRT, the group signed to Epic and relocated to the US but made their biggest splash in France, where they cut two LPs in 1972; this self-titled rarity has Thompson's "Girl You Move Me," percussionist Blinky Bostic's "Who's Gonna Take The Weight," and likeable takes of Wilson Picket's "Don't Knock My Love," "Green Grass," and "Toe Hold." A lost funk classic!
