Now, this is a some kind of musical party going down! If you are a fan of the classic New Orleans sound --- that funky mix of soul and jazz and rock, as exemplified by the Meters, Neville Brothers, Allen Toussaint and Dr. John --- then the Wild Magnolias are right up your alley and in your groove house!
As another reviewer, Virginia Emory, noted, the Wild Tchoupitoulos album gets most of the notice and praise (probably because it featured Toussaint and the Meters), but the debut by the Wild Magnolias did indeed come first and it's every bit as lively and exhilarating, an intoxicating musical stew of guitars and saxophones, organs and drums. tambourines and congas. And the icing on the cake is the joyful singing by the legendary Bo Dollis. It doesn't get much better than this, especially with such great musicians, a cast that includes the underrated Willie Tee, Earl Turbington, and Snooks Eaglin. This reissue contains two CDs: their classic 1974 debut album, along with "They Call Us Wild" from 1975. That second album isn't quite as strong as the first one, but it still packs enough musical punch to make it a very satisfying listen.
Another parallel between the Wild Tchoupitoulos and the Wild Magnolias are the song selections. Both bands covered some of the same standards or variations of songs popularized by the Neville Brothers, including "Meet Me Boys (on the Battlefront), "Hey Pocky Away", and "Iko Iko." On the first album, the nearly 9-minute version of "Shoo Fly (Don't Bother Me)" is guaranteed to get you rocking in your chair or jumping around the room. Familiar songs perhaps, yet with an exciting rhythmic twist.
As noted in Amazon's editorial review, there is a 68-page booklet embedded as a PDF file on CD2. That booklet contains a bunch of photos, details about these recordings, and a historical overview about the legendary "Indian tribes" of New Orleans. Fans of the modern New Orleans sound will find a lot to like on these two albums.
