Neo-funk band Galactic is joined by the Soul Queen of New Orleans Irma Thomas in this celebration of the music of the Big Easy. For more than 25 years, Galactic has pushed the boundaries of funk music, collaborating with a diverse array of artists including Juvenile, Trombone Shorty, Z-Trip, Boots Riley, Macy Gray, Allen Toussaint, and Big Freedia. Their latest vocal collaborator is the powerhouse Jelly Joseph, who cut her teeth on Bourbon Street, American Idol, and with the Grammy-nominated band Tank and the Bangas. Joseph—along with many others—draws inspiration from Irma Thomas, a contemporary of Aretha Franklin and Etta James and a legend in her own right.
