This album highlights Tab at his best and includes a great selection of sounds from his previous albums. Some new songs and some old and traditional make it a spicy mix to suit the blues ear. No matter which type of blues genre you are into this can't fail to please.

This maybe the perfect bayou blues CD and Tab Benoit delivers all these songs with finesse and energy. There are classic tracks - Drowin' on Dry Land, Jambalaya, Rainy Day Blues and Hot Tamale Baby. His self-penned titles all have classic blues appeal - all tracks are great. I love Nice and Warm; Gone too long; Crawfishin'; These blues are all mine. This CD is pretty much a best of and every track is guaranteed to raise your pulse. This guy is so good I just wished I lived in the US, so I could see him live. I also have his Fever for the Bayou CD, and I sense that Tab Benoit has a great sound - The Blues are here to stay. Tab Benoit has a great voice and he sure knows how to play a well worn guitar. Love the blues and you will love this CD.

The Cajun side of blues. Lived in Tab's hometown for a year and know what he sings about. Good guitar and a beat that makes you tap your feet.

If you are looking for a great album of blues, this is a must for your collection. Nice music for get togethers with friends or even if doing chores around the house.

Watch this guy. He's amazing. I just recently got turned on to him and now own a few of his CDs and I want more. The covers are great on this and his originals are sweet and edgy. Billy Gibbons described this guy as traditional straight up classic blues man with a generous dose of cajun hot sauce. Billy knows right.

Bought this for a Cajun dinner party to help set the mood. If you don't know much about Cajun music this is a great selection.
