is a Louisiana-based slide guitar master known for his work with and Britich Columbia's (both make backup vocal appearances here). Like fellow ace , 's playing sizzles and slashes on his debut solo outing . There's lots of space where what isn't played is just as important as what is. "Back to Bayou Teche" echoes the performer's early days backing some of Louisiana's best known Cajun musicians; aboriginal rhythms grace "Sacred Ground"; commercial pop meets Southern boogie on "New Landlord," and borrows a lick or two from buddy for "Common-Law Love." ~ Roch Parisien
