Sho' Nuff' Gettin' Fat Tuesday Funky


Today is Fat Tuesday, the last day of Mardi Gras, the biggest party in New Orleans and the world. As the last day of lent, it's a call to arms to get one's ya-ya's out before the obligatory act of sacrifice that is Lent.

While I am remiss to say I have never had the pleasure of attending Mardi Gras, I have grooved many a time to New Orleans: The Original Sound of Funk 1960-75, an incredible British import from Soul Jazz records filled with a gumbo of incredibly funky tracks from all of the heaviest hitters on the Gumbo circuit: The Nevilles, The Meters, Professor Longhair, Dr. John, Lee Dorsey and many acts I've never heard of - like The Gaturs, Gentleman June Gardner and Huey "Piano" Smith & His Clowns - who are equally deserving of high praise.
