Horn Sections Make Rock Better: Qualified

From Barry Manilow to Randy Newman to Dr. John. There is a thread–see the last two weeks’ entries. Here he is live, backed by the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, also featured here before.

(The original featured New Orleans funk legends the Meters, plus producer Allen Toussaint. Toussaint’s first production credit: “Ooh Poo Pah Doo” by Jesse Hill–this song’s cowriter with Dr. John)

It’s a good tonic for anybody struggling with Imposter Syndrome. Or a bad mood.
