Review

Entertainment Weekly (8/93, p.66) - "...he celebrates his Louisiana roots with deep-dish renditions of blues, funk, and Cajun/zydeco, putting the gumbo to Sonny Boy Williamson, the harmonica to Clifton Chenier, and the voodoo to everything else..." - Rating: B+

Title Note

Personnel: Sonny Landreth (vocals, guitar); Dave Ransom (bass).

This is music from the Saturday night dances in Louisiana; the hot and sweaty have a good time dancing, drinking, and looking at all the people. Do not look for the Royal Albert Hall production on this CD, as on his stunning South of I-10 with its myriad "guest artists." The feel for this music is shown by someone who grew up with it. Listen to the respect and feeling he gives to Clifton Chenier's "If I Ever Get Lucky." Try to keep your body and feet from bouncing to the beat of "Sugar Cane" or "Little Linda." Doesn't your eye start to look around for a dance partner, even though you're in your living room? There is solid playing throughout this CD even though the sound is a bit thin at times and the big-name guests are nowhere to be found. It is a solid effort that spans the musical boundaries of all of Louisiana. Cajun, zydeco, blues, and country are all blended together so they are no longer confining, but a homogenous mix. A solid effort. ~ Bob Gottlieb
