Preservation Hall Hot Four "HALLOWEEN" NEW ORLEANS PRESERVATION, VOL.1 Preservation Hall Records 2009 Preservation Hall's new animated music video "St. James Infirmary" is an homage to the Fleischer Brothers' Cab Calloway cartoon - in my opinion taking the creative concept even further, and realizing its potential much more fully with the unique contributions of New Orleans' cultural images.
