Monogram Hunters: Blood Sweat and Tears

Monogram Hunters' Sweat, Blood, and Tears album was recorded in 2019 and 2020 at the First and Last Stop Bar. The Black Masking Indian Tribe traditionally holds practice there leading up to Mardi Gras Day. The 2 disc album is a mix of music and oral history of the tribe and its current members.  

OffBeat Album Review:
"Blood Sweat and Tears, which is wonderfully packaged and includes comprehensive liner notes, should certainly be filling the air during Carnival season and would be an excellent resource for teachers and those seeking further knowledge on the Black Indian Nation. It’s the real deal."
