BOOK:  300 Songs For 300 Years

“…this isn’t a book you simply read. Instead, every song chronicled begs to be heard… And although the title is 300 Songs for 300 Years, that’s actually an understatement, because once you start learning the rich history of these songs, you’ll want to listen to various versions of them as they’re sung and played by various artists who’ve recorded them over decades laced with triumph, challenge, and, of course pain. From Louis Armstrong’s “Heebie Jeebies” and Jelly Roll Morton’s “Black Bottom Stomp” to “Such a Night” by Dr. John, and Hurray for the Riff Raff’s “The Body Electric;” whether you adore New Orleans and its music, are simply curious about it, or are somewhere in the middle, you’ll be glad you invested in this treasure of a book.”
