Home of the Groove
This audioblog is based on the premise that the true Home of the Groove, at least on the North American landmass, is New Orleans, Louisiana. To that end, we fleetingly blog selected rare, hard to find New Orleans-related R&B and funk tracks with some semi-pithy commentary and other barely constrained verbosity for the delectation of hardcore jaded groove junkies, the virginal uninitiated, and everybody in between.
