Allen Toussaint on Austin City Limits "Whatever it is that is the musical and artistic magic that lives in the soul of the great American tradition of Austin City Limits, certainly reached into the depths of the New Orleans soul with it's truly historic hosting of New Orleans greatest modern musical icon, Allen Toussaint. An intensely personal and quietly introspective musical genius on every level; performer, master musician, composer, writer, arranger, producer, there is rarely a view to the inside of where his deepest of creative wellsprings originates. In his Austin City Limits experience, Allen was opened up as never before on film, and visited all of the magical places that have made him so gifted and so special. Never to my knowledge, has there been such a complete visitation to the complete musical universe that is Allen Toussaint, as happened on that storied Austin stage, on that very special day. I am jealous. Now it will be shared with the world; thank you Terry Likona and Austin City Limits for this invaluable chapter in New Orleans musical history. " Quint Davis
