Editorial Reviews

New Orleans Gambit

"a magically crafted grimoire of voodoo space blues"


Product Description

Papa Mali's latest album documents his pre-Katrina New Orleans summit meeting with some of the city's most celebrated players (Henry Butler, Kirk Joseph, and Big Chief Monk Boudreaux) brought together with one request: Do your thing! More of a seance than a recording session, spirits weave through the air like curls of smoke, conjuring visions of snake handlers and tent revivals, spy boys and street parades, proceeding with a broke-leg swagger to a place that's less about being funky and more about being Southern. Other guests: Golden Eagles Mardi Gras Indians, Victoria Williams, Chuck Prophet & JJ Grey (of Mofro). This enhanced CD also contains feature-length documentary video.

5.0 out of 5 stars Papa Mali sinks you up to your knees in the bayoo sound!, September 21, 2007
By Philly Kristin "MusicMeistress" (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews
These guys are so soulful and rife with slide guitar bayoo sound. If you get to New Orleans JazzFest in April/June (which I do every year), you'll hear a lot of this sound. But this band really stands out. Listen to it several times and you'll year different things every time. It's grown on me big time since I've owned it. First I liked it. Now I LOVE IT. The songs are all wonderful, but 'Early in the Morning' and 'Coffee' are the living best. Their other albums are JUST as good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Freaking killer!, July 12, 2007
By B. Edward (New Orleans, LA) - See all my reviews
This is a stone cold sure shot! I'm new to Papa Mali but this is a GREAT record that's not afraid to fly its freak flag. Dark, mysterious, some great songs, and (as anyone who knows what's up in New Orleans can tell you) an amazing roster of musicians... what's not to love?

5.0 out of 5 stars Swamp-funk at it's finest, February 5, 2007
By Arthur Fonzarelli (Spokane, WA United States) - See all my reviews
Papa Mali and crew return from the bayou like a big sweaty "swamp-thing" to instagate a riot for your senses. Oh not just your ears, but your nose will smell the gumbo, barbecued chicken and cornbread. Your eyes will see new, wonderful colors as the big Papa's stoned-soul mardi-gras comes marchin' through your stereo with Isaac Hayes out front as the Grand Marshall, then Henry Butler and his grand piano will come floatin' in to tickle your fancy, and ya' betta get up offa ya' feet as Robb Kidd gets the party rockin' like a one man drum section, opening it all up for the heavies in the middle of the parade; you'll see Wild Magnolia Indians, Dozens of Dirty sousaphone players, you'll see a Prophet claiming he knows the true religion, you might even see a Mofro they call JJ Grey in there grinnin' from ear to ear, and you will be too as your senses take it all in. And just like the Mardi-Gras, I wish this trip didn't have to end, but I think I see New Orleans' finest comin' down the line.....oh.....wait....it's on repeat, aaaahhhh the party never ends.
