5.0 out of 5 stars THROW ME SOMETHING, MISTER!!!!, February 11, 2002

I'm a New Orleans native, and this CD has the particular versions of these classics that everyone in New Orleans recognizes from the very first note. 'Big Chief, Part 2' is my all time favorite Mardi Gras song, and this is CD has my favorite recording of it. This is definitely THE CD to have if you want to get in the spirit.
If you're looking to find more New Orleans style music, let me suggest the songs 'It Ain't My Fault' and 'Do Whatcha Wanna' as recorded by the Rebirth Brass Band.

This is a 'meal-in-a-dish' compilation of Mardi Gras classics. A must-have to get you in the Carnival mood, even if it's August. The Wild Magnolia's 'New Suit' is such a classic that I'd own this CD for it alone. I have it on vinyl, made a couple cassettes, and gotta have a CD copy of it. And Al Johnson's 'Carnival Time' is one of those tunes that, when you hear it on the radio here in NO, you know it's Carnival season, even if you haven't got your first King Cake yet! Full of Mardi Gras musical staples, get this delectable disc, pop it in your CD player, tap a keg and start second linin'!

Great song selection and placement.
One problem, it's only 36 minutes long.
