On my trip last week to New Orleans, I was struck yet again of the overpoweringly great spirit of the city. As an aside, I must first start by saying my two favorite places in the USA are New Orleans and San Francisco. That same spirit is the only thing that could have saved that city from the saddest tragedy of my lifetime, Katrina. It's still appalling that this country handled the hurricane like a bunch of moronic amateurs. To the people of NOLA, my heart goes out to you and much empathy to your losses.
While I was at my favorite record store in NOLA (Domino Sound), I came across this one that's been on my want list for quite some time. Notice how the label is gone; this record survived Katrina. A little rough, but still kicking. Just like the city itself, and of course Lee Dorsey was one of N'awlins great musical geniuses.
from 1968...
