Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez [Happy Mardi Gras!]
There’s just something about Mardi Gras — you can’t help feeling good even if you’re 2,000 miles away from the French Quarter. Here are some of our favorite Mardi Gras-inspired songs in honor one of our favorite holidays.
We’ve got some of the classics by New Orleans legends like Louis Armstrong, Professor Longhair, the Meters, Dr. John as well as some that are a little more under the radar like Bobby Charles, Earl King and Clifton Chenier.
