The song is from Troy „Trombone Shorty“ Andrews‘ new album on Blue Note Records, „Parking Lot Symphony.“
Music on „The Late Show with Stephen Colbert“ is already quite New Orleans-y, what with Kenner native and NOCCA alum Jon Batiste as bandleader. On Monday night (Aug. 7) , it got even Big Easier, with Trombone Shorty performing „Here Come the Girls, “ written by Allen Toussaint and originally recorded by Ernie K-Doe.
The song is from Troy „Trombone Shorty“ Andrews‘ new album on Blue Note Records, „Parking Lot Symphony.“ The New York Times calls the song „retro horn-heavy soul in a jovial remake.“
Shorty told Billboard magazine previously that he included Toussaint’s song on his new album because „everything in that song fits what we do.“
