Summary: Really great but could be made better with very little effort
Comment: This is a great collection that could be improved through a few substitutions (I would have chosen Johnny Adams' "Reconsider Me" and Irma Thomas'"I Done Gone Over It", instead of the ones The Shout Factory made) but that's nitpicking. It's a great collection, it sounds great and a wide range of New Orleans music is represented. Well done.

Summary: No LA at her best!
Comment: This is a complilation of New Orleans best at their best. I am a New Orleans native living in Colorado and this anthology made me home sick! This is a wonderful collector's item and I recommend it to everyone. Enjoy New Orleans' very own Doctor's Professors, Kings and Queens.

Comment: A great mix of new and old music from the big easy. The booklet gives a lot of information other than the music.

Summary: A BIG O'L BOX THAT'S LOT'S A FUN!
Comment: As an Aussie my exposure to New Orleans music has been limited to Fats Domino, Little Richard, Buckwheat Zydeco, The Neville Brothers and the Rhino Records "History Of New Orleans R & B" 3 volume LP set. I've had my eye on this for quite a while and only acquired it yesterday. The feeling I get from it is a sense of fun in the music. It is both joyous & brassy, Deep and meaningful with a total abandon of enjoyment thrown in. The rich musical history supplied here is all the more poignant after Hurricane Katrina and the musical legacy of New Orleans should never be forgotten.
The programmming is a tad idiosyncratic as we tend to leap back and forward track by track (eg. we have The Hawketts "Mardi Gras Mambo" followed by Ragtime Jazz followed by Modern Blues). Maybe a bit jarring as I prefer "historical overviews" to be chronological in running order. However upon reflection the effect this track running order has is to perhaps illustrate the diversity of the music that emanates out of New Orleans. So this may not be meant to be as much an overview but more so a rich sampling of the New Orleans vibe. However it would have been nice to follow the development of the music over the time spans from jazz to Zydeco etc provided here but that's just my preference. The other thing though is the set seems to be a little top heavy with recent 1990's recordings as opposed to earlier material, notably missing anything by Larry Williams who had hits on Specialty including Bony Moronie & Slow Down.
However those things aside the set is a 5 & 1/2 hour gumbo of the myriad styles that flowed out of New Orleans and is an enjoyable listening experience. I'm glad to have it and I think such a set is essential to any worthwhile music library. Come taste the music!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Astoundingly good
Comment: If you have ever been to New Orleans, you must have this collection - the best "compilation" of any genre I've ever heard. No city sweats music like New Orleans, and this set really captures the sounds, flavors, and even the humidity like nothing else. So whether you love New Orleans and its culture, or just think you might, or even if you are just curious, buy this and turn it up.

Editorial Reviews:

The producers of The Big Ol' Box of New Orleans claim it to be the first box set to cover the full range of music from the Crescent City--from R&B to jazz, from zydeco to funk. Indeed, this handsome four-disc collection ranges through the decades and the neighborhoods of America's first city of music, which has both pluses and minuses. Yes, it's a joy to bask in the diversity of the New Orleans sound. From Louis Armstrong to the Meters, Little Richard to Pete Fountain, Doctors, Professors, Kings & Queens scrambles to include a little something from a whole lot of native sons and daughters among its 85 selections. Problems, however, do arise. At times the sequencing can be jarring, as when Troy Andrews's raucous take on "Ooh Poo Pah Doo" gives way to the modern blues-rock of Sonny Landreth's "South of I-10." The obscurities here are great fun, but, given the city's rich history, they skew too heavily toward more recent releases. Still, there's much to be enjoyed here, from the photo-packed 82-page booklet to the mix of classics and hidden treasures that populate the discs. Not definitive, perhaps, but definitely delightful. --Steven Stolder
