Our Take

Ah, welcome my fellow music enthusiasts to my review of the Rough Guide New Orleans compilation. This album is a musical treasure trove that takes listeners on a journey through the vibrant and eclectic sounds of the Big Easy. From the soulful jazz of Louis Armstrong to the funky grooves of The Meters, this album is a love letter to the rich musical tapestry of New Orleans.

The compilation kicks off with the iconic sounds of Professor Longhair's "Tipitina," setting the tone for what's to come. The infectious rhythms and heartfelt lyrics of tracks like Allen Toussaint's "Southern Nights" and Irma Thomas' "Time is On My Side" truly showcase the diverse range of talent that has emerged from this musical mecca.

One of the standout tracks on the album is Fats Domino's "Walking to New Orleans," a classic tune that will have you tapping your feet and humming along in no time. And let's not forget about the legendary Dr. John, whose soulful vocals on "Right Place, Wrong Time" are a true highlight.

Overall, Rough Guide New Orleans is a must-have for any music lover looking to immerse themselves in the infectious sounds of the Crescent City. So grab a po' boy, pour yourself a Hurricane, and let the music of New Orleans transport you to a place where the party never stops. Cheers to that, my friends.
