I actually have an indirect connection to this artist and his music. I grew up in Baton Rouge,
and my father worked for NCR. One of his co-workers there(Carlton) was a childhood friend of the guys in Louisiana LeRoux, a then very popular band that had some minor hits on the radio. Their songs were being played to different degrees across the nation, but could be heard all over Louisiana, constantly. Anyway, LeRoux was ALMOST my very first concert. Carlton invited my family to attend a show, and meet the band backstage. It was going to happen - until Carlton later cautioned my parents that there might be a little "partying" at the show. My parents weren't cool with that, and we didn't go. We later move up North.
So, decades later, I finally see Tab for the first time. I knew he was from Louisiana, but had no idea of his connections to LeRoux, or that he played some of their tunes. What a very nice nostalgic surprise.
I can totally relate to the imagery and lyrical content of the songs, too. I've caught Sac-au-lait in Whiskey Bayou! I love a good Gumbo! Yeah, it all just takes me back....

So here is Tab from the past weekend. The recording came out fantastic, perhaps my best outdoor result ever. No talkers, whistlers, or screamers at all. No EQ either. Sean Carney joins Tab on the last three tunes for some jammin'!
