Wow, that looks like a nice lineup and not the usual usual from years past. Guess you could say it's a "phat" Fat Tuesday set.  Two interesting sets in a row!

ETA: this has been very enjoyable and this Irma Thomas song is NTM and most excellent.  But really, the only remotely "obvious" choice was the Redbone (and not Leon Redbone either)

Listening now.  Three songs in, and it's been great so far.

Just about done with my listening, and I've been digging it too. Not your standard array of N'awlins tunes or artists. DW seems to be digging a bit harder for unheard stuff of late, at least with his theme sets. Yeah, you right!
