Driftin

Many musicians play the Blues. Louisiana Red lives it. As one reviewer put it, Red's blues are about as down to earth as the humus itself. When he performs, he falls into a trance-like state and his whole life pours out in an intense demonstration of what being a blues musician is all about. This album, Red's third for Earwig, reunites the band from his second Earwig album, Millennium Blues: Willie Kent, Handy Award winner, on bass; Dave Jefferson, formerly of the Albert King band, on drums; Allen Batts, of the early Albert Collins' Ice Breakers band, on electric piano; Willie Big Eyes Smith on harmonica, and Brian Bisesi, currently with Luther Johnson's band, rhythm guitar.
