Bourbon Street runs thirteen blocks through the French Quarter of New Orleans, and for most of a century it has been shorthand for the city's nightlife, jazz, and excess. It shows up in song as both a destination and a warning.
These are the tracks that name Bourbon Street and the artists who set their stories there.
The street as RoadyGoat maps it; pins mark songs placed along it.
