Get ready to hit the streets and rev it up good on The Grapevine in celebration of Mardi Gras and Fat Tuesday.  As carnival season winds down and Ash Wednesday & Lent loom ahead, jump in the parade with a swing in your hips & a song on your lips and get it while the getting gets good...right here on K-DIRT!

In this special Mardi Gras edition of The Grapevine you'll hear classic Crescent City & Louisiana country sounds by the likes of Huey "Piano" Smith, Roy Montrell, The Meters, Beausoleil and of course, the magnifcent Dr. John.
