Close your eyes and take a ride!

Wow, all I need is some fried catfish and a good drink! This is one of those CD's that takes you out of your head and into a place we should all take some time to visit. At times it's a bluesy, soulful blend and then just as the next song starts up you're transported to a jazzy version of the Bourban Street experience.....but not the cheesy, tourist type! This CD should come with a warning if played in the car....'cause you will find yourself thinking, how long would it take to drive to Louisiana instead of work!

Great Sounds
author: DC Berkman
This is the real deal -- terrific musicians and original songs, the kind you keep replaying in your head all day. The music is a great blend of rock roots -- Africa, New Orleans and soul -- with some jazz inflections thrown in that gives it a unique flavor. I really like the title song and Memories of New Orleans, but they're all good! And the sound quality is great -- Hiatt must have put a lot of work into the production of this CD.

my new favorite cd
author: lindsay fleshman
The artists on this cd are extremely talented. I find myself wiggling and dancing in my seat when play this cd, and love every song! I grew up on classic rock and love the sound of steely dan. The Jesse Hiatt band has the familiar sound of the classics like The Dan, but also is new and refreshing. This cd really has something for everyone and is guranteed to put a smile on your face.
