Ok if you never get to New Orleans, at least get this CD. Once you've played it a few times you'll be booking your flights very soon, the CD is so evocative of the city and the people that create music there. All the tracks are fantastic, especially 'Feel Like Funkin' It Up', you get areal sense of the music of New Orleans and the massive impact it has had on world music over the years. I hope the DVD for the series will be available soon too, a stunning insight to New Orleans and the amazing people who live there. And to HBO I say this, broadcast the series in the UK!!!
