Lil Band O Gold
OnLil' Band O' Goldsome of south Louisiana's finest roots musicians get together to play some vintage swamp-pop. The lineup includesSteve Riley, the frontman of the Mamou Playboys;Warren Storm; C.C Adcock; Richard Comeaux of River Road; and David Egan, the pianist from Fil. The songs are drawn from a variety of styles and includeDewey Balfa's Cajun classic "Parlez Nous a Boire" ("Lets Talk About Drinking"), Moon Mullican's "7 Nights 2 Rock," andTom WaitsandKeith Richards's "That Feel." The band skillfully blends the backwoods sounds of accordion and pedal steel with the big-city sound of the St. Martin Horns. The music of Lil' Band O' Gold would make an excellent soundtrack for a summer barbecue.--Michael Simmons
