The pairing of Irma Thomas, known as “The Soul Queen of New Orleans,” and the veteran Big Easy band Galactic goes so smoothly that it’s hard to believe they haven’t been collaborating for decades. In fact, she recorded one song with the group in 2010, but this is their first full-length joint venture. Better late than never, because the irresistible Audience With the Queen is a funky and thought-provoking delight.
