This compilation of tracks from albums on Mardi Gras Records is good, simple fun, leaning heavily on brass band tracks by Dejan’s Olympia Brass Band, Rebirth, the Soul Rebels and more. There are also songs by Big Al Carson, Marva Wright, Irma Thomas, Professor Longhair and Beau Jocque, none of which represent the artists at their best, but all of which are fine. The album is a testimony to the quality of New Orleans music in that a CD of seconds and non-signature tracks is this solid.
