Good NOLA album for buzzing practice?

Dear TubeNetters,
I really like the NOLA fat tuba sound, and for a while now i've really wanted an album of standard songs in that genre for buzzing practice.
Right now i don't think i have anything that really fits the bill, though; I've had the Heavyweight Brass Band's album "Don't Bring Me Down" for a while, but that's more in the line of modern funk/jazz brass. I've also recently been buzzing to "Join the Army" from the Jazz at Lincoln Center recording of Winton Marsalis's "Abyssinian Mass" (which i sang a rendition of with my college glee club last year)--I think it might be more traditional in style despite being a modern composition, but the tuba part is only in half the song and most of the other tracks feature a string bass in a different style.
Could you guys give me a recommendation for a good album of traditional NOLA songs featuring tuba/sousaphone? (I've been looking into Rebirth Brass Band, but they have so many albums i'm not sure where to start.)
Thanks!
