As the cd tittle suggests, Big Al is an real knower and genuine performer of the traditional and modern Louisiana blues style Big Al gathers the gumbo rhytms (not to be confused with cajun ones) of the most traditional New Orleans sound and wisely mixes them with deep Baton Rouge blues sounds I am sure you will certainly enjoy when you get this recording If you are fond of Professor Longhair, Slim Harpo, Dr John or Whispering Smith, you will put the nail on the head if you get a cd copy
