Redbone

Witch Queen Of New Orleans

by Redbone
Redbone

Biography:

Redbone was a Native American rock group that was most active in the 1970s. They reached the Top 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1974 with the song, Come and Get Your Love.

Formed in 1968 in Los Angeles, California, by the brothers Patrick Vasquez (bass and vocals) and Lolly Vasquez (guitar and vocals), the name Redbone itself is a joking reference to a Cajun term for a mixed-race person, the band's members being of mixed blood ancestry.

7th Nov 2012

This song about Marie Laveau paints her in an evil light,
but the famous Voodoo priestess was reported to be beautiful,
benign, and charitable. Although after her death, her daughter,
with the same name, cultivated more of a sinister persona.

A simple version for acoustic guitar players
