This week's episode is all about the rich history of New Orleans & the different labels & studios and musicians that were within that scene, I also tell the story behind last week's song & artist & talk about what went down with the making of the song, who played on it, what happened when they tried to shop the record around to get it released, and why the commercial success of the song ultimately lead to the failure of the label that released the song and the career of Aaron Neville himself. here's the link to last week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it:
