- Albert King - best Blues you can get
- Dr. John - if you want to get New Orleans second line in one album, buy the 1992 Goin' Back To New Orleans
- Professor Longhair - Dr. John's teacher. If Tipitina doesn't get you, you need to see a doctor
- Trudy Lynn - best female Soulblues voice there is
- Christian Willisohn - wow
- Maceo Parker - the man with the saxophone. Get Southern Exposure
- George Clinton - this man is nuts. He IS the Funk.

- George Clinton in the Kaufleuten Zurich, Switzerland, 2005 - unbelievable
- Maceo Parker in the Z7 Pratteln, Switzerland, 2003
- Christian Willisohn and Lillian Boutté at the Tiengener Sommer, Tiengen, Germany, 2003
- Trudy Lynn in the Obere Mühle Dübendorf, Switzerland, 1998
