Home of the Groove Are you stuck far from the parades, music, and Mardi Gras Indians today? Feeling a little blue and in need of some good ol' New Orleans funk and R&B to get you tappin' your toes in the office? We've got just the medicine. This audioblog features rare and hard-to-find tracks, from Professor Longhair to Irma Thomas to Dr. John. Can't tell a second-line beat from bluesy funk? Don't trouble yourself, dawlin'. Archivist Dan Phillips gives background details on each featured track, so before long, you'll feel as smart as a New Orleans piano professor. You'll even learn who's asking for you at the Audubon Zoo. And when Carnival time is long gone, you'll still be able to keep up with the Crescent City tunes, especially when you feel like funkin' it up. (in Music Blogs)
