GEORGE LEWIS AND HIS NEW ORLEANS STOMPERS

So, for the last month or so I've been reading the Dave Robicheaux series from writer James Lee Burke, super hard=boiled crime stories that almost all play out in the small city of New Iberia and New Orleans in Louisiana, and I've been having a ball with them. Great, great books, great, great writer. He's written 23 books in this series and I'm finishing the 17th book, Swan Peak, now.... Like I said, so far they've all been great books but the stand out book, for me, sofar has to be The Tin Roof Blowdown that is set in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath of that insane advent. Always knew it was BAD, just didn't realize it was THAT BAD... I can really recommend....
So yeah, seems like a good time to drop this album from George Lewis and his New Orleans Stompers. Says on the cover that these are original Blue Note recordings..... GET IT HERE Enjoy!
