Nine Lives - A Musical Story of New Orleans The Complete Set
Mystery Street Records and Threadhead Records are proud to present “Nine Lives - A Musical Story of New Orleans” by Paul Sanchez and Colman deKay, a two CD collection of 39 original songs. This musical adaptation is based on the book "Nine Lives" by Dan Baum. Over 130 musicians (mostly from New Orleans) perform on the album, including Irma Thomas, Allen Toussaint, John Boutte, Lillian Boutte, Bryan Batt, Wendell Pierce (from HBO's Treme), Broadway star and Tony Award winning actor/singer Michael Cerveris, Kevin Griffin, Michelle Shocked, Harry Shearer, Shamarr Allen, The Dixie Cups and Mayor Mitch Landrieu. The Nine Lives album is a musical adaptation of the New York Times bestselling book "Nine Lives" by Dan Baum (New York: Spiegel & Grau, 2009). The non-fiction book is a remarkable oral history of New Orleans in the forty years (1965-2005) between the twin catastrophes known as Betsy and Katrina as seen through the eyes of nine of its citizens. The album includes the 39 songs imagined for a theatrical production and is anticipated to become a Broadway musical.
