Review by Ella Messerli

The Hot 8 Brass Band's album Ghost Town is a captivating and soulful tribute to the city of New Orleans. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers, all of which are infused with the band's signature brass sound and infectious energy.

From the opening track "Can't Nobody Get Down" to the closing number "St. James Infirmary," Ghost Town is a journey through the heart and soul of New Orleans. The band's musicianship is impeccable, with each member contributing to the overall sound and feel of the album.

One of the standout tracks is the band's cover of "Love Will Tear Us Apart" by Joy Division. The Hot 8 Brass Band brings their own unique spin to the classic tune, infusing it with their trademark brass sound and adding a new layer of emotion to the lyrics.
