Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Outstanding Nawlins Retro
As a general rule, I'm not a huge fan of New Orleans' recreations. (Hence my 4-star review to Maria Muldaur's fine disc from a year ago or so). But this is so good I gotta go 5.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - (review by James' mom) album was ok
heard about it on NPR when singer was interviewed...sounded a little cooler than it ended up being. bought for my husband who likes pre-swing, 20s and 30s bands / blues.
