Live At The Old Mint features blues and boogie woogie live, including Alfred “Uganda” Roberts on congas at the Old U.S. Mint in New Orleans in April of 2013, solo at the Mint and at the Indianapolis Artsgarden, and one track with Lori Brenner on rubboard. New Orleans native Alfred “Uganda” Roberts played on the Meters’ “Afrika” and “Hey Pocky Way,” on Allen Toussaint’s Life, Love, and Faith (1972), and on The Wild Magnolias (1974). Roberts toured and recorded with Professor Longhair and he is featured on Rock N Roll Gumbo with Snooks Eaglin and “Gatemouth” Brown, on Crawfish Fiesta, and The London Concert.

(1995) and Man At The Piano (1997), and Dr. John’s Dis, Dat, or D’udda (2004).
