The "Live from Tipitina's" records are cool too, but hard to find. I think they were released in the late 80's.  |

Totally agree - Landreth has a subtlety and a low-key intensity that sends chills up my spine. The Neville Brothers have their place, but doing "Congo Square" seem sacreligious to me. They should stick to collaborations with Linda Rondstadt. |

"Take a lead from Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether"
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Sonny's version played yesterday, making me realize that this trumped up hollow show piece version is at once weak, overworked, and boring. . .  |

I obviously know nothing about anything, 'coz I like the drums AND the cowbells. The sax I can live without, but overall, toe tappin' good times.

Blah... Much better versions out there, seems the sax player forgot the rest of his notes and just run the same beat over and over.
Not dissing the brothers in general, but this is a 3.

I guess the persussionist could be chucking trashcans down some stairs and I'd be  although not overly tall, Aaron is an imposing fella. It is true he was a knee breaker for the local toughs as well. He got ripped off in his contracts, and longshoreman pay wasn't covering enough. |
