Overview

Shim Sham Revue- Music of New Orleans Burlesque Shows of the 30's, 40's & 50's --- 2002

The Music of New Orleans Burlesque Shows of the 30s, 40s, and 50s. Ronnie Magri, bandleader and drummer, offers up a thoroughly entertaining CD that brings to life the music that once filled the nightclubs of Bourbon Street, and seeped into the cobblestones of every hot and humid alley, passageway, and courtyard of the Vieux Carre. Included in the CD are beautiful renditions of such classic stripper numbers as "Stormy Weather" and "Mood Indigo," and also a newly-discovered original composition for headliner "Evangeline the Oyster Girl." This nicely-packaged CD includes sexy, exotic dancer photos of yesteryear - Blaze Starr, Evangeline the Oyster Girl, Kalantan, and Linda Brigette among others. Recorded and Mixed at Word of Mouth Studios, New Orleans LA. March 2001 Engineered by Tim Stambaugh Produced by Ronnie Magri
