The Radiators and Leroy Airmaster at Turner Hall Ballroom
After 30 years—and albums for labels both big and small—the Allman Brothers-influenced, New Orleans-based jam-rock band The Radiators continues to draw massive crowds of fevered dancers. The group has trended toward soulful roots-rock in recent years, and the material on its records (like 2006’s Dreaming Out Loud) could have been created by a trad-rock-manufacturing computer program, but the records aren’t nearly as important as the blazing, energetic, marathon live shows anyway. The 2008 two-disc live record Wild & Free, which culls from the band’s extensive archives, isn’t a bad introduction in that respect. In 2009 they put out a companion disc, The Lost Southlake Sessions, gathering material from the early ’90s.
