New Orleans - I think this one is everyone's personal favorite on the album. It is actually the first song we recorded with Phil and Kirk. When the song began I personally could not tell what direction it was heading but it worked out really well.
There are a lot of really cool layers in there too. Phil played accordion, Bobby is an amazing trumpet. We actually didn't even hear the trumpet in there for months after we recorded the song. There was an initial period when I was a little offset by it but that is just because I was too used to what the song was before. I now love the trumpet, it pretty much makes the song. Due to the second half of the record flowing together we did the outro which I also thinks works well and turned out great. We are all very happy with the song.
