5.0 out of 5 stars Put this on and start your gumbo!, July 4, 2000

By	R. Moore "brazilophile" (New Orleans, LA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars So fun! The best compilation I've found, April 21, 2005

By	Bill Staley (Santa Monica, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Bought the CD at the Mardi Gras museum in the Presbytere. It was playing in there. It's on my ipod now and I am giving the CD to my nephew and hoping his excellent high school marching or jazz band will try some of these. I have collected 9 other N.O. CDs and this is the most fun. Can't stop smiling when its playing.
