In this episode of The Nightfly, we bring you a slew of Crescent City tunes to bring you on a virtual trip to Carnival in New Orleans. We'll bring you old favorites from Irma Thomas, Shirley & Lee, and Jessie Hill, classic tunes from the legendary Louis Armstrong, Eddie Bo, and Professor Longhair, plus plenty of brass, Mardi Gras Indian music, and, of course, those funky Meters.
