Tab Benoit is a gritty singer/guitarist who has mastered all the gradations of Americana, from blues to gospel to folk. On this 2007 release, he lends his soulful voice to a smoking set of songs; highlights include a Cajun-inflected cover of "For What it's Worth," the bluesy original "Don't Make No Sense," and the sexy rocker "Addicted."

Professional Reviews

Dirty Linen (p.81) - "It's a trip that encompasses legends of the bayou....He continues to deliver soul and substance framed in Louisiana style."

Living Blues (p.53) - "Benoit is in top form on a well-rounded set of high-energy, guitar-driven tunes."

No Depression (p.96) - "[I]t does show an artist who has comfortably made his genre his starting place, not his finishing line."
