We Ranked 11 Louisiana Restaurants With Mississippi River Views Worth Savoring

One Louisiana barbecue spot starts serving breakfast at 3:30 in the morning. That’s before most roosters bother to clock in. Grab a seat outside, and big ships drift past just over the levee.

From Tabby's Blues Box to O Brother: Chris Thomas King Wants Louisiana Credited as the Birthplace of the Blues

Ask Chris Thomas King where the blues was born, and you'll get a firm answer: Louisiana, not the Mississippi Delta. That argument is the heart of the Blues Origin Institute, a Louisiana nonprofit King founded in March 2023.

When the four-disc box set Antone’s: 50 Years Of The Blues was released last year there was clearly some material that could not be fitted in, so we now have this album which brings together musicians who played at Antone’s to celebrate blues from Chicago, Texas and Louisiana. There are so many musicians involved here that it makes sense to detail the players track by track, but suffice it to say that this is really a ‘cream of the crop’ collection.
