We go to New Orleans....
The playlist this week has been inspired by the release of Hugh Laurie's album in April entitled "Let them talk." While it may have received some mixed reviews and I haven't listened to the whole album yet, I was impressed with everything I have heard. His interpretations of the original tracks are authentic despite his lack of social and cultural blues background. This I put down to a true passion for the music of New Orleans and the blues! But of course Hugh has been a piano player for a while and we've seen some of his talent on the tv series "House." I'm delighted to find it was actually his playing that we see....
