My Feet Can't Fail Me Now
featuring The Dirty Dozen Brass Band and Jon Cleary
The Dirty Dozen Brass Band and pianist Jon Cleary unite to deliver a high energy dose of New Orleans funk.
For a band that has always been known for pushing boundaries
forward, it was a bit of a Anniversary of their debut release, My Feet Can't Fail Me Now.
The album heralded the coming of a new breed of brass band
in the city of New Orleans, and for that matter, around the
world.
So how does a band known for their revolutionary spirit
in a traditional world celebrate the anniversary? By looking
forward, of course.
The Dirty Dozen Brass Band re-issued the re-mastered version
of the quintessential brass band album that has defined the
modern brass band era since it's original release via Topspin,
a revolutionary digital platform that ensures efficient direct-to-fan
digital delivery of music and much more.
In conjunction with the re-issue, the Dirty Dozen will embark
on a world-wide tour which will find the band band performing
the album, My Feet Can't Fail Me Now, in it's entirety. While
the Dozen have always been known for re-inventing and re-arranging
their stellar catalog, this tour will find the band digging
deep into the repertoire and revisiting certain pieces that
haven't been played live since the original release of the
album and even earlier. While tracks such as the title track
and "Blackbird Special" have become showstoppers
throughout the band's career, tracks such as "I
Ate Up the Apple Tree" and "Mary
Mary" have been
on the proverbial shelf for far too long.
Don't be surprised
when banjos and marching drums return to the stage with 'em.
