Songfacts®:

The Foo Fighters recorded each track for Sonic Highways in a different US city. This tune was recorded in New Orleans' Preservation Hall, the Big Easy's home of jazz.
The Pulse of Radio asked Foo bassist Nate Mendel which of the city's that the band visited was his favorite. "It's New Orleans, 'cause it's such a unique town and we - we just had fun there really, is what it came down to," he replied. "It wasn't a studio, we were in the Preservation Hall, which seems like it's a movie set - it doesn't even seem like a real building. And yeah, we just did things that like are so far out of our normal orbit of experience as a band."
This song features Preservation Hall Jazz Band who opened the Foo Fighters' surprise show at New Orleans' Preservation Hall in May 2014.
