In anticipation for their brand new instrumental album, prolific New Orleans bassist George Porter Jr., with his longstanding quartet the Runnin’ Pardners, release their new lead single “Tito’s Dumpling Machine” available via Color Red this Friday, November 22nd! This new single has all the qualities that rare-groove, vinyl crate diggers have always looked for from Porter. Drum breaks galore, a syncopated New Orleans pocket, and a funky Hammond organ lead, will more than scratch the old-school Meters itch. Porter Jr. allows his Runnin’ Pardners band to really drive the track while George does what he does best; holding down the rhythm. Pre-save/Listen to the new single HERE.
While Porter’s Pocket will be available to the general public on February 7, 2025, members of the Color Red Vinyl Club will receive exclusive early access to the album as the club’s December 2024 vinyl selection. Learn more and join the club HERE.
