Pontchartrain Shakers: Pontchartrain Shakers

Made up of Amedee Frederick/v-g-b, Jojjo Wight/g-v, Luciano Leaes/p-org, Red DeVecca/b and Earl Smith Jr/Dr, Pontchartrain Shakers stomps  hrough some swampy blues on this release. Wight’s got a bit of spice in her voice, snarling out the shuffling “Miss You Baby” and growling through “Dead Snake Blues”. Frederick rides the blues groove of “Time To Make A Change” and is fervent on a gospel feel on “Luisiana 1927”, while sounding cozy on “We Need Love”. The team cruises like a V8 on the “A5 Boogie” and two steps to Tulsa on “Going Fishing”. Belly up to the bar!
