What is it about Louisiana that breeds and attracts musicians?
There are literally hundreds of them--Dr. John, Harry Connick, Jr.,
Randy Newman, Trent Reznor, the Neville family, the Marsalis
family--all part of a tradition going back to Louis Armstrong, Fats
Domino, Professor Longhair, Jelly Roll Morton, Buddy Bolden, and
Mahalia Jackson. Tackling the monumental task of surveying the lush
musical landscape of the state, Rick Koster examines all of the
ingredients that went into creating this hotbed of talent--the
social influences, the musical traditions, the food, the drink, the
"heat"--and introduces us to the stars, both local and national,
who have emerged. Discover the past and present of jazz, rock,
zydeco, R&B, gospel, blues, country, and straight-up rock 'n'
roll; learn too about the styles unique to Louisiana, like voodoo
music, swamp pop, second-line brass bands, and Mardi Gras Indian
tribes. With the laid-back charm and easy appeal that defines the
state, Koster has created a survey as uniquely and teemingly rich
with sound and story as the place itself.
