As per title, I'm finding myself more and more addicted to the New Orleans music. It may be the hot weather for all I know, but I'll be very grateful if you guys can suggest some classics =)

This guy is an amazing guitar player and these early recordings solo on an acoustic guitar really demonstrate his ability

I'd second Dr John, but recommend his Desitively Bonaroo, and In The Right Place albums, where he's backed by The Meters.

I strongly recommend trying "The Bright Mississippi" by Allen Toussaint for some recent New Orleans jazz....it blew me away the first time I heard it.
