Of all the albums that could be selected to reflect the rich tapestry of New Orleans rock/blues/zydeco and other music, this is not what I would have picked. For the most frequent review descriptors to be "psychedelic" and "spooky" does not help its case for me. I like swamp rock and zydeco! This was a meandering and interminable experience made worse by looking back from 2024 to see the supposed first exposure for mainstream media of NOLA music be Some Guy from there make a concept album about being a Senegalese Haitian folk healer.
