Resurrected from a long-lost cassette tape, vocalist/pianist Frankie
Ford's 1962 album, "On the Street Where You Live," boasts its first
ever release. Recorded at Cosimo Matassa's J&M Recording Studio, it
represents the rock 'n roller's early venture into popular, big band
styles. Some of New Orleans finest musicians, including pianist Ellis
Marsalis, drummer James Black, then-guitarist Mac Rebennack (pre-Dr.
John) and more were assembled. Ford, the maker of the smash hit "Sea
Cruise," is heard as never before swinging and crooning on tunes that
celebrate streets, avenues, roads and boulevards. As Ford would say,
"Ooh-wee, baby."
