The Eureka Brass Band's gospel swing opens and closes this overview of Crescent City sounds of the '50s and '60s, collected via street-level field recordings. The work songs of a shoeshine boy ("Shine—Hambone") and fruit vendor ("Blackberries!") hold their own with Doc Paulin's transfixing funeral music, Kid Clayton's spidery Dixieland jazz and a remarkably intimate discussion and sing-off between two groups of Mardi Gras Indians ("Red White and Blue Got the Golden Band").
