Various Artists: Treme: Music from the HBO Original Series, Season 1

Geffen
One of the most innovative television shows of the past year is Treme, which tracks the lives of several individuals in post-Katrina New Orleans. And one of the most exciting aspects of Treme is the omnipresent music, which spotlights the vast variety of sounds that one might encounter throughout the city—even as it struggles to be reborn. From strolling brass bands to vintage and modern jazz, funky R&B to piano blues, Treme is all about cultural connections, and this 19-track soundtrack, drawn from the program’s first season, offers a joyous cross-section of the city’s enduring traditions. Among the familiar names are Dr. John, Kermit Ruffins, Trombone Shorty and Irma Thomas, but some of the soundtrack’s true treasures come from lesser-known locals.
