Bo Dollis and the Original Wild Magnolias

Not only the greatest Mardi Gras Indian albums ever made, but some of of the most seriously bad-ass funk ever played anywhere. The Turbinton brothers band, known both as the New Orleans Project and the Gaturs, absolutely DESTROY it on both records; first with Snooks Eaglin on guitar and Julius Farmer on bass, then with Guitar June (not the Japanese guy) and Ervin Charles on bass for the second album. Farmer and Charles were two of the funkiest bass players EVER. (George would be the first to agree) Of course leading the show here on some of the most revolutionary music ever played in New Orleans is the great Bo Dollis at the height of his powers. This is how he will always sound in my mind's ear; rest in peace my big chief.
