Anders Osborne at Tipitina's - 2/26

Photo Taken By Bob Compton

For those of you who missed out on the Anders show this Friday, it was awesome. I really like Anders, and saw him up in NYC over New Years this past year. For some reason, this show was so much better than any other time I've seen him. From the moment the music started I was dancing. George Porter Jr and Billy Iuso came up towards the later half of the show and took the band up a notch.

Nothing feels better than leaving a show sweaty and dehydrated.

Mardi Gras!

Mardi Gras Indians on my mind

I've been doing a lot of reading about the Indians lately - so I thought I'd share some of the cool stuff I've found.

First a link to a great interview with Bo Dollis from Blues Access Magazine (which has since been cancelled):

Wild Indians Down in New Orleans: An Interview with Big Chief Bo Dollis of the Wild Magnolias

And here's one of my favorite Bob Compton shots of one of the Red Hawk Hunters

 

(no one ever notices my favorite part: whitey hanging from a tree in the bead work)
