I'm working on putting together a number of pages about artists I think are amazing, and found some great video to add to the one I'm making about a local New Orleans musician I love- Coco Robicheaux. Take a look at how it's coming here:

Download "Like I Said, Yeah, U Rite" by Coco Robicheaux
I was excited tonight, when I realized that I could get Coco on Amazon. Coco Robicheaux is a genuine New Orleans Legend. His music embodies the spirit of the blues that is so rich there, you can taste the sound almost as much as listen to it. I was missing New Orleans, and remembering a performance of him singing a song called 'Home'.
What was super awesome is that even though I don't buy stuff online much, I managed to find it on Amazon and download an MP3 of the album with "Home" on it. You can get the actual album, or download it for instant musical gratification at $8.99. Coco Robicheaux is one of my favorite musicians from NOLA , and sometimes when I get homesick I remember him performing Leonard Cohen's 'Suzanne' and going into this hurricane inspired song of Home. I downloaded it, and I almost feel like I'm sitting in that bar again on a funky Saturday night.
If you haven't heard his music, or you want to find a touch of the real New Orleans flavor, I'd strongly recommend this. Add a mixed drink, dancing, and some good chicken gumbo for maximum effect. ;-)

COCO ROBICHEAUX- New Orleans Blues
Now how bad-ass would you have to be to win an award called "Best Blues Album by a Louisana Artist"
Seriously. Babies cut their teeth on harmonica's in Louisana. The spices in the food make 'em wail that way. There ain't nobody that can sing the blues like someone who'se stumbled home through the french quarter in New Orleans. The rhythmn is in the sound of steps on the pavement, the rocking of the train, the ebb and flow of the tide.
Here's a site where you can find out more about his music, and a link to his myspace page and other articles. :-)
( I miss you Coco. Thanks for letting me play with You, and telling such fabulous stories! )
