New Orleans as most of us know is a red hotbed for American music, even a substantial quantity of indie, rock, and metal bands claim New Orleans as their home! Most people associate The City That CARE Forgot with Dixieland Jazz ala Satchmo! Thanks for enlightening me Jazzbo CR with the great upbeat rhythm and blues artists from The Big Easy!
There are some interesting artists here, the upbeat music is a treat as I am currently working on my diddly bow and grooving to upbeat music! The Springsteen and Miller covers were great, Tom and Wilson very good, Lee Dorsey very good, and of course the Aaron Neville Classic! I also liked Oliver Morgan and Johnny Adams...most of the artists were unknown to me until now!
The Soul Queen of New Orleans ...IRMA THOMAS, is a tour de force!..as you already know Jazzy!
