Buy our new record with Andre Williams! Besides the fact that you'll love it and your entire psyche will be changed from the first moment you hear it, Andre needs the money.
"Morning 40 Federation lets its freak flag fly fantastically on Ticonderoga...New Orleans 's irreverent musical tradition will outlive Katrina just fine." -- John Zeiss, Prefix Magazine
"[The songs on] Ticonderoga are lean and low-slung.As crudely funny as it is musically tight. -- Jon Parales, New York Times
"Ticonderoga is a party album with an edge." -- Evelyn McDonnell Miami Herald
"These Ninth Ward convivalists have finally made a recording that captures some of their bacchanalian madness of their live performances..Calling this feel-good music wouldn't do the band justice. It's a wonder this stuff is even legal!" -- Leopold Froehlich, Playboy Magazine
"It's like dirty church." -- Josh Cohen of Morning 40 Federation on the band's live shows.
