The neighborhood was symbolic of a shared inspiration with artists worldwide gravitating to the vibrant streets and clubs and as such helped change the course of popular music. The Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City in the 1960's was ground zero for a musical, political and social evolution- McCarthy and the Red Scare era was over, the Vietnam War was simmering and poised to explode, and the civil rights movement was gaining steam just as singers like Peter Seeger, Bob Dylan and Odetta were hanging out and composing fierce and fearless songs that reflected the social conscience of a generation. Loudon Wainwright III - High Wide And Handsom: The Charlie Poole ProjectĤ29 Records has brought together a stellar roster of artist for a project titled THE VILLAGE: A CELEBRATION OF THE MUSIC OF GREENWICH VILLAGE-a musical homage to an influential scene that thrived during an incomparable era in the history of rock music.

He came and did all my string arrangements and really made the record complete.
And CJ did "Never Give You Up." After we finished our version, we heard this space and we said, "Man, you know what would be nice on this record? A Stevie Wonder harmonica solo!" Then we also have people like Jack Ashford from the Funk Brothers who plays percussion, tambourine, vibes.and we have Paul Riser who did a lot of string (arrangements) for Motown. I thought we should do something with this record, so we ended up putting Rebirth on it ("Big Easy"), and that's how that came up. I love Second Line bands and marching bands, so a friend hooked me up with Young Spodie and we became good friends.
The Rebirth Band was on a song about Katrina, and so I titled the song "Big Easy" because I had friends who lived there and my family's from Louisiana. We found a perfect song for her with "Just One Kiss," and it just kind of worked out that way. She was around when I cut my record, and we always talked about doing a record together just as friends. RS: Joss Stone came because I worked on her record Introducing Joss Stone.
