Forget that it's Hugh Laurie - that alone would make it 5-star. Forget that it's New Orleans Blues - that alone would make it 5-stars. It helps to watch the "Great Performances" on KET where Hugh made his much-anticipated trek to New Orleans to play with the greats. After receiving the CD and playing it, i was swept up in the beauty of the old classic blues songs done in such an outstanding manner with great backup players and singers. Who knew Tom Jones' (older and heavier) voice would lend itself so well to this genre. Get it, you won't be sorry and just close your eyes and escape.
After watching this PBS Special a few years ago, I wanted to have the music to listen to often. Very good.

In addition to being a fabulous actor, this guy can play some music! His love for New Orleans jazz really comes through here and he’s playing with the best. There’s a YouTube documentary that pairs nicely with this. Check it out! ❤️
