Big Al & the Heavyweights - Late Night Gumbo Party

"Like Etouffee - Simple but delicious"
By B. Mann VINE VOICE on August 30, 2003

"You either like New Orleans or you don't. It's not a city that allows a lot of middle ground. You either see it as filthy, scuzzy pit of crime, or as a multi-layered, textured celebration of soul and body. If you fall into the second group, you'll like this cajun-zydeco type music from Big Al and the Heavyweights. Like some of the best New Orleans food, it's not complicated, not gourmet. Simple flavors, deep and intense, like a rich etouffee. This music has some blues, some zydeco, some cajun. Your toes will tap. You will smile. Heck, you may even dance. It's yummy and as a New Orleans aficionado, I recommend it."





"Music is great party music,a combination of Blues,Zydeco and soul. it has something for everyone. it is all original music. these guys have had their songs cut by everyone from C J Chenier, Michael Burks , Johnny Jones and Sherman Robinson. they have appeared on "Emeril Live" and been featured three times on The House of Blues Radio Show."
