Would greatly appreciate any setlist or review you could bring back. It seems that he might delve into some NOLA R&B obscurities, which are just about my favorite music genre ever, but it's hard to tell exactly from the description.

The whole album is pretty solid, but I'm really loving "Ice Age":

I wonder if the Ernie K Doe book will be on sale at this gig?

OK, Dan P, I have enlisted the services of an expert for this project

Awesome, thanks! I'm sure there will be some Fats Domino and memories of Booker, and there will certainly be Irma Thomas hits. Davell Crawford is along, and he has recorded some of his grandfather Sugarboy Crawford's stuff, and it's a longshot but Tami Lynn might even do "I'm Gonna Run Away From You."

It actually just dawned on me that I saw Tami Lynn sing a couple songs at Jazzfest last time I was in N.O. and she (um, delicately) wasn't all that good. She did do "Mojo Hannah."

I never saw her sing. I did overhear her once in the old South Street Seaport Strand Bookstore complaining about one of her mentors

Sorry, Dan, don't know if there were too many obscurities. It was actually kind of hard to hear especially the lyrics where I was sitting. Irma Thomas we could hear pretty clearly, she sang two numbers "Wish Someone Would Care" and "(You Can Have My Husband but) Don't Mess with My Man." The biggest pleasant surprises were Ivan Neville singing his dad's "Hercules" and the band playing Smokey Johnson's "It Ain't My Fault," but apparently the latter gets covered a lot. Tami Lynn did not sing "Mojo Hannah" couldn't tell what else she did sing. She seems like a last minute addition since everybody else's bio was printed in there program but her info was inserted on a separate sheet of paper.

Thanks! The songs listed in the review are all great, if unsurprising (St. James Infirmary, Hey Pocky Way.) Yeah, props to them for digging up Hercules.

I meant to say that "St. James Infirmary" sounded nothing like "St. James Infirmary" until I was able to hear some of the words.
― i just believe in memes (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 16 April 2012 19:08 (1 year ago) Permalink
Yeah, "Hercules" and Nicholas Payton were the best things. Don't think I mentioned that Davell Crawford sang "Junko Partner."

Arrgh, "Junco Partner."

Doc's been doing this mambo arrangement of St. James Infirmary for a while now, so probably this one?
