David Booker & The Alleygators - Loungin' Live

"Loungin' Live" is a solidly swingin' set from the Rocky Mountain king of good time blues. David Booker invites Ralph, Eugene and Dirk (keys, upright bass and drums) along for this ride down the road of classic, danceable, toe-tappin' blues. The likes of Bessie Smith, Big Joe Turner, Willie Dixon and Tampa Red are referenced within these easy-swingin' proceedings. You might just call this CD one of "lively cocktail blues". Actually, this is quite an accurate phrase to describe this session, since you can easily dance to it or enjoy it during the later, laid back hours. Excellent listening for all occasions. And, David Booker's voice is so easy to listen to, as it melds beautifully with his smooth guitar stylings.
