Tom Waits' recent collaboration with New Orleans institution the Preservation Hall Jazz Band on the benefit LP Preservation was originally inspired by an old 78 rpm recording of Danny Barker's 1947 Mardi Gras Indian street chant "Tootie Ma Is a Big Fine Thing". Now, the song is coming full circle, as Waits and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band's take on the tune is set to be released as a 78 record on November 19 by Preservation Hall Recordings, according to his site. (The B-side contains Waits' and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band's cover of Barker's "Corrine Died on the Battlefield".)
Absolutely fantastic!
