Illustrator: Louise Mouton. This is an excellent budget compilation from Rounder, featuring modern New Orleans blues, soul, jazz, and funk. Even though some of the artists represented here have recorded for other labels over the years, Rounder has consistently championed excellent sessions from these key players in the Crescent City. Irma Thomas, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Johnny Adams, and Walter "Wolfman" Washington are all represented. An unreleased soulful outtake of "Amen" from James Booker's Classified sessions is the bonus ingredient in this enjoyable musical stew. ~ Al Campbell Producer: Dirty Dozen Brass Band; Irma Thomas; John Parsons; Kalamu Ya Salaam; Quint Davis; Ron Levy; Scott Billington Engineer: David Farrell; David Richards; Jay Gallagher; Mark Bingham   Technical Info Release Date : 09/25/1989 Original Release Date : 1998 Catalog ID : 11514 Label : Rounder Number of Discs : 1 Runtime : 65m : 38s Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00011661151420    Product Image
