Our Take

DALE HAWKINS Back Down To Louisiana is a rollicking ride through the bayou that's more swampy than a Gatorade bath at the Superbowl. This album is like a Creole gumbo, with a mix of blues, rockabilly, and a pinch of good ol' Southern charm thrown in for good measure.

Hawkins' gravelly vocals sound like they've been soaked in moonshine and set on fire, while his guitar licks are hotter than a jalapeno popper at a Louisiana cook-off. Tracks like "Suzie Q" and "Back to the Chopping Block" will have you tapping your toes and slapping your knee like you're at a hoedown in the backwoods of Baton Rouge.

The production on this album is as crisp as a freshly fried catfish, with every instrument and vocal line coming through clear as a Louisiana sunrise. The backing band is tight, like a pair of skinny jeans on a Nashville hipster, and they bring an infectious energy to each track that will have you bopping along in no time.

Overall, DALE HAWKINS Back Down To Louisiana is a toe-tapping, knee-slapping good time that will transport you straight to the heart of the Bayou. So grab yourself a cold beer, kick off your cowboy boots, and let Hawkins take you on a wild ride down South. Yeehaw!
