Music reviews of Jambalaya
Music Review: Great as the Single Is, The CD is Even Better!
Rating: 5 Stars
If you are exploring this cd because of the HBO show Treme and the marvellous theme song, I empathize--I was in the same boat. Based on snippets, I purchased Jambalaya and fell IN LOVE with John Boutte's soulful voice. It's a wonderful mix of ballads and more uptempo songs like "Two Bands Rolling" and "Treme Song." His version of "A Change is Gonna Come" drips sweet soul and doesn't make me long for Sam Cooke's original (which is the highest praise I can give).
But don't put him in a box; he also covers Annie Lennox's "Why" and revamps "Battle Hymn of the Republic", creating a delicious gospel gumbo. His "At the Foot of Canal Street" is more of a traditional blues song, though he co-wrote that, too.
I can not recommend this cd highly enough. If you love old soul, jazz, or N.O.-styled music, buy this, even if you're a relative novice to the latter genre, like I am. There's not a bad track on this album.
