Do Your Thing

Product Description Papa Mali's latest album documents his pre-Katrina New Orleans summit meeting with some of the city's most celebrated players (Henry Butler, Kirk Joseph, and Big Chief Monk Boudreaux) brought together with one request: Do your thing! More of a seance than a recording session, spirits weave through the air like curls of smoke, conjuring visions of snake handlers and tent revivals, spy boys and street parades, proceeding with a broke-leg swagger to a place that's less about being funky and more about being Southern. Other guests: Golden Eagles Mardi Gras Indians, Victoria Williams, Chuck Prophet & JJ Grey (of Mofro). This enhanced CD also contains feature-length documentary video. Review "A thing of aural beauty... a fascinating glimpse into Papa Mali's visceral vision and spell-casting." -- Austin Chronicle "Any fan of New Orleans music needs to buy this CD as soon as humanly possible." -- Hittin' The Note "One of the first great albums of 2007, and quite possibly one for the ages." -- jambase.com "This driving, echo-drenched polyrhythmic joy ride transforms the traditional Mardi Gras march into a contemporary slice of voodoo electronica." -- Offbeat "a magically crafted grimoire of voodoo space blues" -- New Orleans Gambit
