The Big Easy Top Ten: New Orleans Ladies (#4)

Four Walls @FourWalls (87345) • United States 10h

Frisson. That’s what it’s called when you hear a song and it gives you goosebumps. That’s what today’s song can do for me when I haven’t heard it in a long time. Checking the clip I’m posting, I felt the remarkable happiness of...

CRASH!

Four Walls @FourWalls (87345) • United States 23h

Would you like to hear some great news surrounding the death of Dolly Parton? Yes, as sad as we all are, there is something good that has happened. The Imagination Library website crashed in the immediate aftermath of her...

The Big Easy Top Ten: City of New Orleans (#5)

Four Walls @FourWalls (87345) • United States 27 Aug

What? I’m up early AGAIN??? Yeah, I know. I have a podiatrist appointment in an hour, so I’m going to play with my fingers on the keyboard before I get my toes played with. I’m sure that, when I said I’d be honoring...

The Big Easy Top Ten: Down At the Twist and Shout (#6)

Four Walls @FourWalls (87345) • United States 26 Aug

Dolly, we’ll always love you. It only seems fitting that today’s song that celebrates New Orleans in lyric is by a woman, because Dolly helped redefine country music for so many women. So put on your dancing shoes, it’s time to...

Argh! NO!!!

Four Walls @FourWalls (87345) • United States 25 Aug

Dolly Parton has died. I really didn’t want anyone bumping Neil Sedaka out of the #1 list of “top” ten music losses for the year. Sorry, Neil, you’re down to #2 now. There are no words. The woman was an amazing talent in every...

The Big Easy Top Ten: Mississippi (#7)

Four Walls @FourWalls (87345) • United States 25 Aug

My, but isn’t this early! I’m on my way to the State Fair. If the Fair is like it always is I’ll probably be at Chuy’s by noon. Or, I might be there all day. You never know. First thing first: a trip to New...

The Big Easy Top Ten: Big River (#8)

Four Walls @FourWalls (87345) • United States 24 Aug

New Orleans is a legendary city, and many legendary singers have mentioned it in their songs. You can’t get a whole heck of a lot more legendary than today’s artist, that’s for sure. So off we go to the Big Easy with today’s...

Wow, what a great day with the weather! Sunny, comfortable. Perfect Fair weather! I’m not going until Tuesday, though. I will go for a walk to enjoy this. But first, it’s a musical trip to the Crescent City with one of its...

Four Walls @FourWalls (87345) • United States 22 Aug

Now that you’ve had the alphabetical list of songs referencing New Orleans, along with a little history lesson about the brothel district, it’s time for the top ten! And, probably to nobody’s surprise, we start the top ten with a...

Way Down Yonder in New Orleans

Four Walls @FourWalls (87345) • United States 21 Aug

One thing about New Orleans: it’s got a long history of lascivious living. What, the song countdown has had two songs about brothels or prostitutes (“House of the Rising Sun” and “Lady Marmalade,” respectively), and there’s the...

The Big Easy List: Truckin’

Four Walls @FourWalls (87345) • United States 20 Aug

Here’s another one of those “classic rock” songs that most people were probably waiting for when it comes to mentioning New Orleans. And there’s nothing like a song that’s not only classic rock but a true story!! Let’s boogie down...

Four Walls @FourWalls (87345) • United States 19 Aug

Another day, another country song! This is the last one until the top ten. And this one is a little different…they might say “That ain’t no Hank Williams song” at Bob’s Country Bunker to this one. Here’s today’s...

Ah, we’re back to normal. By that, I mean it’s time for a country song that you’ve never heard. We’ll have a couple of those before returning to some rock and roll. By the way, next month we’re moving from the Big...

Music Obituaries: July 2026

Four Walls @FourWalls (87345) • United States 17 Aug

As you know, about 95% of what I post here is about music. That’s because it’s been my primary passion my entire life. As such, I pause every month and give tribute to the music-based individuals who passed away in the previous...

Yeah, here’s one that hopefully TeamFreak had on his list of songs that reference New Orleans. This is also one of those that can have a lot of versions for you to know. But this time, I’m sticking with the original. [b]Proud...
