Wild Magnolias - With The New Orleans Project LP NEW COLOR VINYL
Wild Magnolias - With The New Orleans Project LPĀ
NEW. SEALED.
Jackpot Records
In 1970, one of the leaders of the musical Mardi Gras Indian Tribes movement, The Wild Magnolias, became the ļ¬rst band to have a commercial recording released as a Mardi Gras Indian group. The bandās legendary performances at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival also helped them launch into the recording of their 1974 debut LPāthe self-titled The Wild Magnolias which we are so pleased to present to you here.
Easily some of the most fantastic New Orleans funk and soul ever laid down on vinyl. Eight songs that donāt let up with its street-beat funk, call-and-response vocals (with lyrics like ājust a few puffs to make you feel all rightā leading the charge) and a recording that captures the unhinged mania of so many talented musicians crammed into a studio making a stone-cold classic.
With The New Orleans Project as their backing band including: Alfred "Uganda" Roberts (who played with Allen Toussaint & The Meters), Larry Panna (The Gaturs), Snooks Eaglin (Professor Longhair as well as the creator of 15 solo records) and Willie Tee (one of the most inļ¬uential ļ¬gures in the New Orleans funk and soul scene who arranged & co-wrote on this LP), the NOP beautifully rides along with the assortment of bottles, tambourines, drums and rattles that the tribe members bring to the air.
One of the coolest records weāve ever had the privilege of reissuing (not to mention its beautiful beaded front cover artwork that emblazons the front cover and the iconic photo of the band in all their Mardi Gras splendor that graces the back), this LP will turn heads for those who havenāt heard it yet, while being a repeat funk classic to those who already have it in their bones.
