The highly anticipated new CD from four-time Grammy winners and gospel Legends, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Down in New Orleans marks the first time the Blind Boys have ever recorded in New Orleans and on it they are backed by a trio of world class New Orleans musicians: David Torkanowsky (piano), Roland Guerin (bass) and Shannon Powell (drums). Contributing to the New Orleans spirit that prevails throughout the new disc are such esteemed guests as Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member and Rosebud client Allen Toussaint, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and the Hot 8 Brass Band.
