Description
“He is the pride of New Orleans and a visionistical down-home cat and a hellified piano plunker to boot. . . . He plays the piano like Art Tatum, but when he starts singing he sounds like Paul Robeson.” So says Dr. John of fellow New Orleans legend Henry Butler, who’s at the helm of this monstrous group of Nawlins all-stars: bassist George Porter Jr., a founding member of the Meters; drummer Raymond Webber, who’s worked with the Dirty Dozen Brass Band and the New Orleans Social Club Band; and vocalist/percussionist Cyril Neville of the Meters and the Neville Brothers. Bayou sounds are assured.
