The 'Take Me To The River' film puts big respect on New Orleans' music impact
There are films you want to see and films you need to see - by the looks of Take Me To The River, this accomplishes both. From The Neville Brothers to Cash Money and No Limit Records, New Orleans is heavily responsible for today's thriving music scene. I can't wait to watch.
There’s no doubt New Orleans is responsible for some of the greatest sounds and musicians. The Big Easy is responsible for some life-changing movements over the decades. The new Take Me To The River film looks like the proper way to let the world know it.
