1	Putumayo Presents: New Orleans Christmas (2006) more music like this by Various Artists This bright little compilation of Christmas tunes done New Orleans style takes on a little extra poignancy given the city's continued efforts to rebuild and rebound from the tremendous destruction that came with the landfall of Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005. But hurricane or not, Christmas is a time of celebration, and the musicians of New ... see all copies from $7.10! new only from $7.10!
2	The Very Best of Dr. John (1995) more music like this by Dr. John Dr. John has recorded many great albums, but it's difficult to argue with such a perfect distillation of his catchy, grooving, slapdash pop work as this Rhino set. Coming out of the R&B studio subculture of New Orleans, the former Mac Rebennack possessed songwriting smarts and reams of recording expertise, each of which had reached their peak by ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $7.99!
3	Gris-Gris (1968) more music like this by Dr. John The most exploratory and psychedelic outing of Dr. John's career, a one-of-a-kind fusion of New Orleans Mardi Gras R&B and voodoo mysticism. Great rasping, bluesy vocals, soulful backup singers, and eerie melodies on flute, sax, and clarinet, as well as odd Middle Eastern-like chanting and mandolin runs. It's got the setting of a strange religious ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $10.50!
4	Oh, My Nola (2007) more music like this by Harry Connick, Jr. After Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in the summer of 2005, musician Harry Connick, Jr. was one of the first people to lend not only his celebrity, but also his own two hands in aid to the survivors of the catastrophe. Connick brought a television crew with him as he traveled through his damaged hometown and shot footage to help draw ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $6.00!
5	After the Rain (2006) more music like this by Irma Thomas A rumor circulated after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast at the close of summer in 2005 that Louisiana soul great Irma Thomas was one of the missing. The rumor, fortunately, turned out to be false -- she was gigging at the time in Austin -- but Thomas' New Orleans home was completely destroyed. The shadow of Katrina hangs large over ... see all copies from $5.97! new only from $15.85!
6	Goin' Home: A Tribute to Fats Domino (2007) more music like this by Various Artists Fats Domino's decision to stay in his home in New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward during Hurricane Katrina nearly cost him his life. The home was flooded and sustained major damage and the rock & roll pioneer had to be airlifted by helicopter from his roof. Age 77 when the storm hit, Domino was no longer performing as often as he once did, but he ... see all copies from $21.39! new only from $23.97!
7	The Very Best of Aaron Neville (2000) more music like this by Aaron Neville In some ways, The Very Best of Aaron Neville is a very welcome addition to his catalog, since it's the first collection to touch on all areas of Neville's long career. However, it winds up being a bit unsatisfying, not just because it only has one cut from the Neville Brothers, but because his New Orleans R&B and down-home soul just don't fit that ... see all copies from $11.51! new only from $13.34!
8	The Very Best of the Meters [Rhino] (1997) more music like this by The Meters In keeping with the drift of Rhino's Very Best Of volumes, this 16-track disc provides a more concise, budget-minded retrospective for listeners who might not want a set that offers twice as much or more (in this case, Rhino's own two-disc Funkify Your Life anthology). That's not necessarily a criticism -- funk grooves can get tiring over the ... see all copies from $9.51! new only from $10.76!
9	Sweet Soul Queen of New Orleans: The Irma Thomas Collection (1996) more music like this by Irma Thomas This 23-track collection of early and mid-'60s sides largely duplicates the material on EMI's Time Is on My Side collection, with some additions and subtractions. The EMI set has a very slight edge, although for most listeners either compilation will do the job. It's too bad somebody doesn't take the plunge and issue an 80-minute CD documenting ... see all copies from $13.63! new only from $15.75!
10	Doctors, Professors, Kings and Queens: The Big Ol' Box of New Orleans (2004) more music like this by Various Artists It reads splendidly on paper: Shout Factory's Doctors, Professors, Kings and Queens: The Big Ol' Box of New Orleans is a traveler's guide to the legendary city's rich musical heritage. Over the course of four discs, it attempts to touch on all of the kinds of music associated with New Orleans -- everything from brass bands and piano blues to ... see all copies from $51.23! new only from $51.23!
11 view cover	Bring It on Home... The Soul Classics (2006) more music like this by Aaron Neville For Aaron Neville, the impact of Hurricane Katrina could only be expressed through music, specifically on songs that are uplifting, meaningful, and close to the heart. Bring It on Home...The Soul Classics is about recovery: a positive response not only to the natural disaster of the hurricane, but undoubtedly to the blasé attitude about it from ... see all copies from $13.39! new only from $13.39!
12 view cover	Aaron Neville's Soulful Christmas (1993) more music like this by Aaron Neville Aaron Neville's Soulful Christmas is at once familiar yet progressive, traditional, prayerful, heartfelt, fun, and sexy. Neville lends his angelic voice to timeless holiday standards, resulting in one of the more compelling American holiday albums of the 1990s. Neville's treatment of classics such as "O Holy Night," "Silent Night," and "O Little ... see all copies from $1.99!
13 view cover	Putumayo Presents: New Orleans (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Putumayo provides a nice introduction to Nawlins jazz here, with a pretty good mix of the classic and the contemporary. The music remains, despite its era or performer, fully of the New Orleans style. The patron saint of the city, as well as the genre, Louis Armstrong, is presented with one of his later recordings with an all-star band in 1966 (it ... see all copies from $13.37! new only from $13.37!
14 view cover	Funkify Your Life: The Meters Anthology (1995) more music like this by The Meters Rhino's Funkify Your Life: The Meters Anthology was the first truly comprehensive and widely available CD retrospective of the groundbreaking New Orleans funk band's work. These two chronologically arranged discs run down virtually every important track the band recorded under its own name, finally allowing a more general audience to hear why the ... see all copies from $33.13! new only from $33.13!
15 view cover	Allen Toussaint [Bonus Tracks] (2007) more music like this by Allen Toussaint As intimated by the cover art, this album is a close-up and personal portrait. Although the multi-talented hitmaker had become a living legend within the thriving musical community of his native Crescent City, Allen Toussaint more often than not deferred the spotlight to the vocalists for whom he wrote, produced, and arranged. Released in 1970, ... see all copies from $14.88! new only from $14.88!
16 view cover	The Grand Tour (1993) more music like this by Aaron Neville Although Steve Lindsey tries a little too hard to make The Grand Tour appeal to everyone, Aaron Neville manages to make the album another solid addition to his latter-day catalog. Lindsey keeps the sound of the album strictly in the mainstream, piling on layers of keyboards, vocalists, and drum machines which neuter any rootsy elements in the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.99!
17 view cover	Yellow Moon (1989) more music like this by The Neville Brothers The Neville Brothers made a bid for pop/rock stardom with this well-produced album for A&M, their first under a new pact with the label inked in the late '80s. It was certainly as solid as any they cut for A&M; the vocals were both nicely arranged and expertly performed, the arrangements were basically solid, and the selections were intelligently ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.05!
18 view cover	Ultimate Collection (2001) more music like this by Aaron Neville Although it not surprisingly shares a whopping nine tracks with 2000's The Very Best of Aaron Neville, 2001's Ultimate Collection cherry picks from a far wider range of years (1960-1997) than the A&M period which was used almost exclusively for the former anthology. As such, it's a considerably broader and ultimately a better representation of the ... see all copies from $7.35! new only from $13.34!
19 view cover	Warm Your Heart (1991) more music like this by Aaron Neville When Aaron Neville signed with A&M in the early '90s, optimists were hoping for some five-star soul gems along the lines of his classic '60s recordings. Instead, his first A&M date, Warm Your Heart, found the veteran New Orleans singer taking a much more pop-minded approach, with generally decent results. While Neville didn't abandon soul music, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.56!
20 view cover	The River in Reverse (2006) more music like this by Elvis Costello/Allen Toussaint It's impossible to consider The River in Reverse without taking the devastation Hurricane Katrina wreaked upon New Orleans into account. Indeed, it's quite likely that this collaboration between Elvis Costello and Allen Toussaint would not even have occurred if it weren't for that cataclysmic event. They've collaborated before -- Toussaint wrote ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
21 view cover	Live on Planet Earth (1994) more music like this by The Neville Brothers Clearly, this is intended to be the definitive live document of a band that has always been defined by its live work. Clocking in at 71 minutes, the album was culled from a world tour. The rhythm section of drummer Willie Green and bassist Tony Hall keeps up a steady groove from song to song, and the Nevilles trade off lead and harmony vocals on ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.09!
22 view cover	This Is the Dirty Dozen Brass Band Collection (2005) more music like this by The Dirty Dozen Brass Band By kicking up the beat and adding in elements of bop, R&B and funk to the century-old tradition of funeral and parade standards practiced by New Orleans street bands, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band has almost single-handedly revitalized the genre over the past 30 years, and with an outstanding horn lineup that generally includes trumpets, saxes, ... see all copies from $12.04! new only from $15.99!
23 view cover	Television (1994) more music like this by Dr. John Dr. John's debut for GRP doesn't deviate from any release he's made for several other labels. It's still his chunky, humorous take on New Orleans funk; these are his songs, visions and performances, and there's none of the elevator material or laidback, detached fare that's a customary GRP byproduct. Such songs as "Witchy Red," "Spaceship ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.00!
24 view cover	Goin' Back to New Orleans (1992) more music like this by Dr. John Having cut an album of standards on his first Warner Brothers album, In a Sentimental Mood (1989), Dr. John turned for its follow-up to a collection of New Orleans standards. On an album he described in the liner notes as "a little history of New Orleans music," Dr. John returned to his hometown and set up shop at local Ultrasonic Studios, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.93!
25 view cover	Look-Ka Py Py (1970) more music like this by The Meters The second album by Art Neville's band continues the sound that made them New Orleans legends. In addition to the title track, there's plenty of funk aboard in songs like like "Pungee," "9 'Til 5," "Rigor Mortis," "Funky Miracle," and "Yeah, You're Right." This 1999 reissue also features two previously unreleased bonus tracks, "Grass" and "Borro." ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.50!
