- Summary:
- Each New Orleans Live session is different from the last. This lineup is a fine example of Nola's musical eclecticism, notably featuring the Joe Krown Trio. A key figure of blues and of rhythm and blues, Joe Krown is an accomplished keyboardist, particularly on the Hammond organ. A revolution in the world of sound (as Laurent De Wilde explains so well in his book Les Fous du Son), this instrument lends itself perfectly to this concert; especially played in accompaniment to singer and guitarist Walter “Wolfman” Washington, another New Orleans-based performer. Gal Holiday and the Honky Tonk Revue are another local reference, exploring a whole range of local music including country, rockabilly and, more generally, Americana; a generic term that encompasses musical repertoires across the country. Led by Vanessa Niemann, the group’s charismatic vocalist, Gal Holiday conjures the soundtrack of honky-tonks, the bars that populate the countryside of the Deep South. Finally, Steve Riley and The Mamou Playboys reclaim an entire part of Louisiana's history through the Cajun cultural fabric. An influential French-speaking community in the surrounding bayous, the Cajuns (a contraction of Acadian) attest to a production marked by tradition, as indicated by the use of the fiddle and the diatonic accordion. Let the good times roll. Vincent Caffiaux
