RE: Haley in New Orleans for Mardi Gras 2014
^^Actually yesterday, as I was listening to the Marsalis/Mayfield cd, I did a Youtube search for Don't Know Why by Mayfield, and found that video. Because I like the Marsalis/Mayfield version better (the tempo's the same, but the arrangement is a more stripped down version and without background distraction), I didn't include it in my post above.
I heard the Norah Jones version of that song through John's post on the Music Videos thread on this site two years ago (??), and like you, Tusk, thought it would be a great song for Haley to cover. And when she did, it was terrific -- all that I had hoped for.
Yesterday, I forgot to mention another Irvin/Haley song connection. On a different album, Mayfield has recorded Moanin'.
