#1,115 - Rockin' Dopsie Jr. Returns
#1,115 - Rockin' Dopsie Jr. Returns What can I say? If you've seen Rockin' Dopsie Jr. perform, you're going to love this interview. If you haven't seen him? You'll still love it! This is one of the best live performers Paul has ever seen. And the interview covers the whole, exciting experience that Rockin' Dopsie Jr. brings to the people! Plus, Rockin' Dopsie talks about some of the legends like Fats Domino that he's crossed paths with. He shared his memories of the late, great Jimmy Buffett. And Paul couldn't resist asking Rockin' Dopsie Jr. about recording with Bob Dylan and producer Daniel Lanois on the album Oh Mercy! Rockin' Dopsie Jr. and his band are the heart of what this show is about! Really great music, wonderful stories and tremendous heart. We hope you'll listen and it would be great to know what you think of Dopsie! Thanks!

#1,114 - Melissa Errico Returns
#1,114 - Melissa Errico Returns After more than a few years, Melissa Errico returns to The Paul Leslie Hour. It is our great privilege to present Paul’s second interview with TONY® Award–Nominated Broadway Actress, Singer & Writer Melissa Errico. Called a “one of a kind performer” by The Wall Street Journal, the lovely Melissa Errico is as interesting as she is spellbinding. This is true if we’re talking about her work as a concert and recording artist — Melissa Errico is known as one of the premiere interpreters of Stephen Sondheim, Michel Legrand, and David Shire. But it’s also true if we’re referring to her essays on life in the arts that appear in The New York Times. You’re going to love this in-depth interview with Melissa Errico, and we invite you to subscribe to Paul’s YouTube channel so you don’t miss great interviews just like this one. Happy listening.

REVIEW: Rod Stewart, Irma Thomas & Rockin' Dopsie Jr. at Jazz Fest
Rod Stewart, Irma Thomas, Rockin' Dopsie Jr. & The Zydeco Twisters It was great. Like any day you spend at Jazz Fest of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. It was Sunday, April 26, 2026. Hot, humid and beautiful. I got to see the tail end of the New Orleans Nightcrawlers set. I really enjoyed hearing them play! Then I finally got to see Rockin' Dopsie Jr. & The Zydeco Twisters live and in person. Dopsie is a performer who channels James Brown with unimaginable energy. He brings a relentless drive to the washboard and managed to keep the crowd in a state of constant motion. Next, I had the privilege of seeing the "Soul Queen of New Orleans," Irma Thomas once again. There is a profound sincerity in her voice. There's no one quite like her. She shared a poignant moment with the audience, noting that while she may have never had a million-selling record, but she has millions of fans. We all cherish what she does. The day concluded with a headline performance by Rod Stewart. Seeing a legend of his stature in the context of the Fair Grounds was something I won't forget. He delivered a set that felt like both a grand finale and a celebration of showmanship in the classic sense. Rod and his band moved seamlessly from hit to hit. And you could tell he had a genuine appreciation for the festival atmosphere and the city. I heard a lot of music! From the sounds of Mento and Zydeco to the world-renowned icons on the main stage, the 2026 festival was like all the other days of Jazz Fest I've witnessed. It was a day of phenomenal performances that personified the New Orleans spirit.
