Know mostly as a bluesman, Gatemeouth Brown turns his hand to Louisian' Country and produces a fabulous little gem of an album. I bought this on vinyl when it was originally released and was mightily impressed then and just received it on CD. It hasn't been off the player, iPod, computer and/or car since. Nearly all the songs are by local Louisiana writers (particularly Hoyt Garrick) and they've come up trumps. Great songs, great playing (particularly by the steel and bass players), great remastered sound and contains some deep, deep southern grooves. Gate only plays fiddle on this one and shows what a great player he is. Contains a couple of minor bonus tracks, but it's the main album on show here and what a fantastic show it is.
