Henry Turner Jr. and Flavor
Louisiana Legends and Politricks
“Politrickin’ is serious business,” spouts Henry Turner on the spoken litany of good and bad state and federal politicians over a rock steady groove. The band members pretend to get FEMA and the White House on the phone, warning them to be careful of flood waters they might not be aware of. Turner bluntly states, “By the way, Melvin ‘Kip’ Holden or Cleo Fields would make a great governor—or a great president.” henryturnerjr.com.
