Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Here Dey Come (Wild Tchoupitoulas)
"This tribe marked a milestone for New Orleans music when it became one of the first Mardi Gras Indian tribes to record their particular call and response songs for a major record label."

Before that great Wild Tchoupitoulas album, the Wild Magnolias ~ featuring their own Big Chief Bo Dollis along with Big Chief Monk Boudreaux of a rival tribe, the White Eagles if I'm not mistaken ~ had already recorded at least one album and maybe two. If you like any one of these records, you'd probably enjoy all of them. Bo and Monk are remarkable singers, and the Magnolias always have an all-star band behind them.
