Trade Review
In his view, the Wild Tchoupitoulas is both a harbinger of that future and a symbol of the past that is long gone now. For a long essay/short book, [Bryan Wagner] does a great job, and he never forgets that the music and personalities that made it are what makes it the classic that it is. * Offbeat Magazine *
Bryan Wagner’s truly enjoyable book is a fascinating trip into some of the history of the amazing city of New Orleans and the past and traditions of a section of the population who don’t always get the attention they deserve. It is much more about tradition and history than it is about the album per se; and it’s an all the better read as a result of that. * Americana UK *
