LOS ANGELES, CA (PRWEB) July 26, 2004 -- New Orleans music has been documented thoroughly on recording and in print -- but never like this. Doctors, Professors, Kings & Queens: Big Ol Box of New Orleans takes the music of the Big Easy outside the history museum and puts it back amidst the total experience of being there -- the hurricanes to go, the crawdad etoufeé, the voodoo rituals, the beads, the sultry Caribbean winds -- and mixes it up with four CDs worth of new and old Crescent City sounds. According to reissue executive producer Gary Stewart, Its one big mess, and we like it like that!" Shout! Factory's resultant CD boxed set will arrive in stores on October 5th for the suggested retail price of $59.98.
The audio portion of Doctors, Professors, Kings & Queens: Big Ol Box of New Orleans takes the vibrancy of New Orleans music clear outside of academic chronological and mixes the originators and the progeny of New Orleans music. Featured are 85 songs by such artists as Dr. John, Professor Longhair, Irma Thomas, The Meters, Jellyroll Morton, Marcia Ball, Geno Delafose & French Rockin Boogie, Sonny Landreth, Little Richard, Ellis Marsalis, Henry Butler, Clarence Frogman" Henry, Chris Kenner, Buckwheat Zydeco, Shirley & Lee, The Neville Brothers, The New Birth Brass Band, Dave Bartholomew and the Radiators. Compiled and annotated by KCSN-FM Down Home" show host Chuck Taggart, a native, its an open-all-night rockin Nawlins dance party. Grab a hurricane in a go cup" and roam the citys legendarily diverse and influential sounds.
But the total experience of Doctors, Professors, Kings & Queens: Big Ol Box of New Orleans just begins with the music. This big, fat, heavy package makes a wonderful addition to the top of the coffee table. The set features essays and sidebars by writer Mary Herczog, author of Frommers New Orleans, that defy what comes to mind when you think liner notes. Herczog takes you by the hand through the narrow streets of the Quarter, through the Garden District and up through Bayou St. John -- imparting the history alongside the colorful urban myths, while giving an insiders-eye view of citys great (and divey) bars and restaurants, and even an unpredictable Nine Random Reasons We Love New Orleans."
With Mardi Gras upon us in February and JazzFest and Ponderosa Stomp in April, there is no better gift for the New Orleans enthusiast (or would-be enthusiast) than Doctors, Professors, Kings & Queens: Big Ol Box of New Orleans. Load up your iPOD, take along the book and journey the citys mystical, musical and gastronomical crannies, and youre ready to fully appreciate the Western Worlds most culturally rich and unique city.
