Music in My Soul is a tribute to the unique sounds of New Orleans. Louis Armstrong Jackson asks his mother how he got his name and she tells him that the first time she heard him wail, she knew he had music in his soul. He asked how he got music in his soul and Mama told him that music is all around him. All he has to do is listen. And he does.
