Digest's Pick for the 

Top 10 Brass Band Tunes

Song Backgrounds

It's by the New Birth Brass Band and entitled, "Project Love". All about the way some men think of women in the housing projects in New Orleans.  

The Little Rascal Brass Band are a sixth ward favorite that, started with the second line group, The Old and Nu Style Fellas about six years ago, and  has grown over the years.  This one tune, "Knock with me......Rock with me", became the virtual Brass Band anthem when it debuted. 

"Come Dance with Me", by the Lil' Stooges will have you dancing the second Line on the table. It's a Must buy CD!

"Let Me do my Thang" debuted about 1 year ago, but looks like it will be around. The ReBirth Brass Band blows out the house with their #4 hit!

#5 is the Hot band right now on all the routes. The Hot 8 has cranked out this tune called, "Skeet!  Skeet!" Yep! I'm afraid it means what it says, and those Hot 8 are always pushing the edge.
