John Boutte is simply amazing. Professor Longhair lives in his piano playing. Sam Cook lives in his voice. And the soul of New Orleans and its people lives in his music. If you know what it means to miss New Orleans, then put on Boutte's CD and it will take you there -- at the Foot of Canal Street.

I recently purchased the 3-2-1 Bose system and it came with a CD that included 2 of John Boutte~ songs. It included Annie Lennoxs' song "Why". It blow my mind. Purchased all of Mr. Boutte' cd. I'm several years behind....but thank God I found this treasure!!! Thanks Bose

I met John in New Orleans in the Clover Grill. They were playing his CD. I had to have it. That evening we went to see him perform at a French Quarter club. He and his back up guys were great. I will not forget his good music. This CD just gets you started with him.

After listening to just one of the songs on this CD via one of the internet music channels, I quickly purchased it. Since then, I play in constantly. Everyone who have listened, have found something on the CD that they like. The songs of Blues, Jazz, New Orleans Mambo and Gospels are perfectly balanced on this CD. In short, this album by John Boutté is a must have for the eclectic music lover.

John Boute is great. He has an array of styles true to the region. Full of soul and life. Paints a picture of life in this great city! The title song is my favorite on this disc.

If you like the title song here, find a version by co-author Paul Sanchez on one of Cowboy Mouth's albums - "All You Need is Live", at least, maybe one of the studio albums.

Like another reviewer, we had to get this cd after hearing "Didn't It Rain" on a sampler disc that came with a Bose Lifestyle system.

We were not disappointed. I would highly recommend this, right up there with Dr. John.

Jon Boutte has a voice that is powerful yet filled with soul and passion. This recording captures him at his best. His voice and music are a combination of the old school Jazz vocalist blended with the passion of a modern artist coming through the ranks of the music world. Jon's style is a unique mixture that could only come from a place like New Orleans.

After seeing John Boutte' at French Quarter Fest 2006, I had to have his CD. This CD doesn't have any of the passion or verve I saw on stage and I find that disappointing.
