Hot 8 Brass Band have a long history with a cover version and 'Big Tuba' gives you a full blast of New Orlean's Mardi Gras!
Grammy-winning Hot 8 Brass Band’s first new project since 2019, featuring previously released singles “Big Tuba”, their cover of Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine”, “Fight Song” and focus track “Let’s Stay Together”. This 10-track album delves into the traditional jazz heritage of their hometown of New Orleans, available digitally, on CD and vinyl. The vinyl release includes a special 3-colour A-Side/B-Side vinyl, a 12” poster insert, and an exclusive 7” featuring the final album track, Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together”, and the bands iconic cover of Marvin Gaye’s “Sexual Healing (Bossman Edit)”, making it’s vinyl debut.
Funnily enough I was talking to label boss Robert Luis at the We Out Here Festival lasts year about how they got to do a cover of The Special's 'Ghost Town' which may be why it's not on this album but check out what is!
