I can’t imagine anyone being left cold by the music that comes out of New Orleans. That town simply has the funk (and the gospel, blues, roots, etc). I love it when bands use the old New Orleans musical gumbo and mix it in with a little of the new. Like Luke Winslow-King. Fox on a Hill is the new record from Luke.
Whereas “As April Is to May” subtly incorporates New Orleans rhythms and beats, Buckweat Zydeco’s new record, Lay Your Burden Down, is the whole (proverbial) hog. This song with it’s allusion to the Ninth Quarter is the single from his latest release out now on Alligator.
