New Orleans
Comment:
No matter how many sounds New Orleans has bred, the city has always had a deep connection to the blues. Sonny Landreth sings about some supernatural goings-on in “Congo Square,” but when he wiggles that slide up and down the fretboard, he works up some voodoo all his own. Walter “Wolfman” Washington’s no slouch on the six-string, either, and when he sinks his teeth into the solo on “Tailspin,” his bluesy bite makes it obvious how he earned his nickname. And Earl King, the original Crescent City guitar hero, authored his share of bayou blues standards, but he wore his hometown pride on his sleeve with the funked-up flag-flyer “No City Like New Orleans.”
