Meet Me At Mardi Gras Compilation Coming
. There's a chill in the air, and the sounds of the season are everywhere. Christmas, you ask? No, you're in New Orleans, and it's Carnival time � Meet Me at Mardi Gras. From every radio, bandstand, bar and coffee shop, the songs associated with Mardi Gras (especially perennial favorites such as Al Johnson's "Carnival Time" and the ReBirth Brass Band anthem "Do Whatcha Wanna") announce the month of parades and balls that will culminate with the nation's biggest citywide party. Also included are two classic songs from the Specialty catalog (Rounder's sister label in the Concord Music Group). The album was compiled by Rounder's Grammy-winning VP of A&R, Scott Billington. Meet Me at Mardi Gras will serve as a suitable soundtrack for any Mardi Gras party. The Soul Rebels strike a funky note with "Say Na Hey," a brand new song written by Leo Nocentelli, the guitarist for the crucial New Orleans funk band The Meters. In contrast, several of these songs reach back more than 50 years. Pianist Joe Liggins was not from New Orleans, but his "Goin' Back to New Orleans" has become a standard, covered by both Dr. John and Deacon John. Larry Williams's "Jockamo a.k.a. Iko-Iko" is a rocking version of the traditional Mardi Gras Indian chant. 1. The Soul Rebels � "Say Na Hey"
