New Orleans soul funk band and the Queen of New Orleans Irma Thomas hook-up for an album of big brassy soulfire. Irma's in her 80s and still sounds unreal, proving that class and soul is ageless.
The Crescent City’s chameleonic funk-rock-pop veterans Galactic reunite with the “Soul Queen of New Orleans” Irma Thomas for a full album of new music on Audience With the Queen, an uplifting joint-effort that shines new light on the Grammy-winning singer’s timeless sound. Now 84, Thomas has contributed era-defining hits to New Orleans’ R&B “Golden Age,” earned worldwide acclaim for her blues masterpiece After the Rain and remains among the city’s most celebrated gospel singers. With Galactic at her side across 8 high-energy, groove-laced originals and a dazzling revamp of Nancy Wilson’s “How Glad I Am,” Thomas sounds more vibrant than ever. This unique full-length LP featuring two of New Orleans’ most beloved music acts is a must-have for fans of any genre.
