BLUESTOWN RECORDS proudly presents a brand new release by LOUISIANA RED – BACK TO THE BLACK BAYOU. These recordings were done during the course of the world renowned INTERNATIONAL NOTODDEN BLUES FESTIVAL during the last days of July and the first days of August 2008. You better believe it. There was a heat wave going on, and the music put unto tape is hotter than hell!

The songs on BACK TO THE BLACK BAYOU are by far the most inspired and grittiest to come from THE GIANT OF THE BLUES in a mighty long time. LOUISIANA RED wasn’t bullshitting anybody. He is the real deal and he is singing and playing for his life. BACK TO THE BLACK BAYOU is as hard tough as it gets.

The sessions were well planned. The songs had been carefully picked, then carefully arranged with skill and love with the determination of making the best damned LOUISIANA RED album out there today.

That which could not be planned was the explosion of concerted inspiration and energy that occurred between the musicians in the studio. Luckily, the inspired sessions were captured unto the Juke Joint Studio’s 24 track 2” tape machine, through the truly unsurpassed vintage RCA ribbon microphones, to the studio’s rare tube limiters and mic-pre’s and utilizing the beloved 1960’S Audiotronics mixing console (that once was owned by Stax, Memphis and used to produce ground breaking recordings for Booker T and the Mgs, Otis Redding, Albert King, Aretha Franklin, etc). Great musicians, Great Gear, Big Sound!

During the sessions LOUISIANA RED was like a 19 year old kid, passionately pounding out his songs with pure joy and excitement; I’M LOUISIANA RED, CRIME IN MOTION, RIDE ON RED, TOO POOR TO DIE, SWEET LEG GIRL, YOU DONE QUIT ME, ROAMIN’ STRANGER … all 3 minutes plus-songs of compact inspiration that evokes the golden era of classic blues and early rock ‘n’ roll from the 1950’s and early 1960’s.

LOUISIANA RED is rough, ready, willing and able on BACK TO THE BLACK BAYOU. The music is deeply rooted in the greatest achievements from the artist’s past. It was the surroundings, the musicians and the atmosphere that made THE LEGEND come to perform and be, once again, the MANNISH BOY. BACK TO THE BLACK BAYOU had to come out a winner!

Be aware! BACK TO THE BLACK BAYOU may well be the best LOUISIANA RED album out there today. And it’s out now on BLUESTOWN RECORDS.
