Returning to South Louisiana for another helping of the blues, this 28-tracker includes rare or previously unissued tracks from stars of the genre such as Lightnin\’ Slim, Lazy Lester and Slim Harpo, plus a host of little-known or completely unknown performers. The set also features two surprises; artists who you would never think performed in the down-home style: Barbara Lynn and Cookie (aka Huey Thierry, of Cupcake fame), but they sound right at home, with the unknown harmonica player setting the tone on Barbara\’s track and Cupcakes\’ guitarist Marshall Leday supporting his front man with some mean blues pickin\’.
