Based on the premise that the true Home of the Groove, at least on the North American landmass, is the irreplaceable musical and cultural nexus, New Orleans, Louisiana and environs, this audioblog features rare, hard to find, often forgotten, vintage New Orleans-related R&B and funk records with commentary. Some general knowledge of N.O. music is helpful here, but not required to get your groove on.

Four Kings
What kind of New Orleans connections do B. B. King, Freddie King and Albert King have? Over the next week, I’ll feature cuts from these blues men, plus one from a local King - Earl, that is. No profound implications here. The songs, which I’ve run across at various points over the years, really have nothing to do with each other; but, there are various ways, obvious and not so, they each have an HOTG hook up. Thus, we cobble together a theme series of sorts: Four Kings.
