DeucE, aka The Mighty E, the fearless Captain of Eclectipundit.com turned me on to Hiatt back in the day of which I am forever grateful. Here's the title track from Hiatt's 1995 release. I've listened to this one in the dead of winter and would almost swear that I could feel the "steam rising from the sidewalks of New Orleans after an evening rain."
If you know what I am talking about then you know that this is songwriting, on the mark, true to form and as good as it gets, my friends.

Wild Magnolias - With A Peace Offering
Just got back from the Easy and about ready to call it a night after driving most of the day. But before I let the weekend go, how about some tight New Orleans funk from back in the day around '75 give or take.

Tony Joe White - Willie & Laura Mae Jones
Yesterday my brother Wil, my son Evan and I made a trek downtown to the Louisiana Music Factory on Decatur in New Orleans. The House of Blues is just across the street and as I pointed the building out to Evan, I proudly mentioned that his cousin, Matt, once played a gig there.
Once inside the Factory, I suggested to Evan that he wade right in and pick out a CD or two. I wanted him to enjoy one of those moments that only music can bring.
I pointed out talent and rare releases everywhere one looked. "Check it out, how about Trombone Shorty, the Radiators or hold the phone, some vintage Tony Joe White?" A kind voice from nearby expressed his appreciation of TJW's music old and new. Thanks for helping a Dad out and for the advice. As such, there won't be any need to return my own "off the beaten path" selection.
Here's one for the LMF - Tony Joe as a One Man Show, none better.
