REVIEW

“. . . a boundless fund of energy and vitality leaving the clear impression that they really did thoroughly enjoy every single minute spent making this album. An intriguing record that may appeal not just to goodtime music enthusiasts but to fans of New Orleans music in general who have yet to catch up with what the new generation is doing.”
