Louisiana Dance Hall presents:

NOLA.com’s “Louisiana’s top 40 most-influential artists” – Part 2

Let’s continue with our look at a broader Louisiana music picture. Recently I was browsing on NOLA.com and saw an article that highlights “Louisiana’s top 40 most-influential artists” of all time. Last show, I featured as many as I could, but there are more to enjoy! So let’s check them out. As I said last time, I hope you hear some new sounds today! Not all may be your cup of tea, or as danceable as our usual mix, but let’s try something a little different … because that’s what WRIR is all about!
