Rating 5.0
You should buy this!The producers did quite a job in choosing just the absoulute best from this very wide variety of Louisiana music. Just take look at the broad list of musicians and classic tunes on this set of CDs. The tracks are well mixed and even the older recordings sound great. The set includes with a fill-sized softcover with info on all of the artists.DPK&Q - Boxset of New Orleans is excellentNovember 8, 2004
Title: `The Big Ol' Box of New Orleans
Rating: Great
Usually boxsets do not sell in the numbers that single disc albums do but are thrown at for serious fans. This year there have been two "great" boxset releases; `Five Guys Walk Into a Bar' by one of rock's best bands The Faces, and, `Doctors, Professors, Kings & Queen The Big Ol' Box of New Orleans.'
The New Orleans boxset is probably the coolest gift one could give to a serious music fan. Four discs, a great box, and a terrific book inside, this boxset gives the listener a comprehensive over-view of America's premier music city. While other communities have an impressive history of great music, for me, New Orleans of the bedrock of "American" music. The so-called Big Easy is the home of jazz, a heavy contender for rhythm & soul base, and certainly the town that birthed funk. By mixing music & culture, food & entertainment, and a sense of the mystical New Orleans music has given the town a swagger that other communities can't mimic.
Each disc takes the listeners down a unique route. There will be well known names such as Dr. John, The Neville Brothers, Louis Armstrong & Pete Fountain. There are also less known but equally brilliant tracks by acts that deserve to be known like; Walter Wolfman Washington, Sonny Landreth, Henry Butler, and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. The book, 84 pages long, includes sensational photographs, excellent sidebar graphics, and well written narratives that help the reader understand the history of this city and how it's inhabitants blended together numerous cultures to create a bizarre but beautiful community. This boxset is an absolutely brilliant introductory to some of America's best music and the listener's interest will be warmly rewarded.If you like New Orleans music, it's all here!From Cajun to Dixieland, R&B to Zydeco, the Big Ol' Box of New Orleans has a little sumpin' for everyone. The four discs are a great mix of the funky to the rousing, brass bands and accordions, slinky blues tunes and rousing marches. The variety is amazing, but all of the selections have that unique New Orleans flavor.
The 80-page guide is essential, giving great background for the newcomer to the knowledgable.
I found some of my old favorites: Dr. John, The Neville Brothers, Irma Thomas, the Radiators, Marcia Ball, and many more. I discovered some brand new favorites: Zachary Richard first and foremost. I haven't stopped dancing yet. |
