"Chicken Gumbo" is fun! Blues and funk have never seemed so natural as they do on this album. When listening, it is hard to keep a toe from a-tappin'. The album features extensive brass and wind segments, that keep the songs fresh and fun. Check out the track "Deep Elem Blues." Besides Lex and Joe, there are ten other musicians making contributions on drums, organ, accordion, bass and back-up vocals. This CD is a mix of classic blues tracks and original takes, all of them southern fried with gritty horns and a warm guitar. Riillo's clarinet on "Stealin" is certainly worth your attention too. For a real fine experience, you need look no further. This is a good-time gumbo!
