Today we have a focus on new music that either came from Louisiana or it’s inspired by Louisiana. Lew Winston Band over in Montreal has some recent tunes that we haven’t played in our previous review of Louisiana music. Legendary Ivan Neville Leyla McCalla is collaborating with Michot’s Melody Makers from Lafayette on a warmly intimate new album of songs. Quintron is back under a moniker Bobby M.G. John Qui Saute from France and Eddie 9V from Atlanta have music inspired by Louisiana. We check out two New Orleans brass bands too: Hot 8 Brass Band and Wit’s End Brass Band. We pay a tribute to Huey Piano Smith who passed away at the age of 89 in Baton Rouge.
