Broussard seems content to make cover tunes these days, but he released this album of originals in 2024 and I'm glad he did. Broussard has honed his unique Americana/bayou soul sound and these varied tunes certainly groove. It's a bit brief, but the band is tight and the vocals are soulful, a nice blend of blend of classic Southern influences and modern production. At times, I'm reminded of The Meters, while other times it reminds me of a Dan Auerbach solo album. It's the sort of album where the more I listen to it, the more I like it.
Press of the time:
- Rock And Blues Muse: "Broussard covers plenty of ground while sticking to his distinctive palette."
- Blues Rock Review (9/10): "explores themes of love, the struggles of life and times fleeting nature as a testament to his evolution as an artist"
- Music Connection (7/10): "the album blends funk, soul, and R&B, creating a rich soundscape filled with gritty hooks and warm grooves."
- Bluestown Music: "Broussard and his amazing band have delivered a masterpiece."
Peak on the US Billboard Top 200 chart: Did not chart
