On this 2007 release, he lends his soulful voice to a smoking set of songs; highlights include a Cajun-inflected cover of "For What it's Worth," the bluesy original "Don't Make No Sense," and the sexy rocker "Addicted."

Power Of The Pontchartrain Music Review Average Rating: (3.5 out of 5 stars)   Love it!!!!
Gives Fever for the Bayou a run for it's money. Shelter Me should be playing on Christan radio. All good songs, sound even better live, especially For what it's worth!. The man can play, sing, joke, and try and save the Bayou all in on night. If you love the Blue's you'll love this Album, and don'e miss him live!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No some more gritty stuff but still great
I am a avid Tab Benoit fan who follows all of his projects and albums. I think this album has some more grit sound to it on some of the tracks, but still is a very good album. Definitely worth the money.

Power Of The Pontchartrain album
 $15.05  
Tab Benoit's latest release on Telarc, Fever for the Bayou, continues in what has become Benoit's signature territory, a funky, ragged blend of Louisiana swamp blues and East Texas guitar, with hints of funk, soul, and country thrown in to give the gumbo just the right spice. If it sounds like a formula, well, Benoit's jagged guitar playing and increasingly soulful vocals ...

As Marshall Wyatt's thorough liner notes explain in the accompanying 32-page booklet, the violin had a more prominent role in early blues than has often been supposed. Violins were far more apt to be played than guitars in the 19th century, and even when the blues began to be recorded in the 1920s, violins were still often used, although they weren't as apt to be featured on disc as the guitar and other instruments were. This 24-track compilation (with only one cut dating from after 1935) includes some fairly recognizable blues names like Peg Leg Howell, Howard Armstrong, Cow ...

It shows precisely how much of a golden touch the Bee Gees had in the years 1967-1970 that even this soundtrack album -- on which they participated in only the most limited way -- is one of the prettiest records of their output. For starters, it marked the first official appearance of Barry Gibb's "Morning of My Life" (In the Morning)," a song (credited here as "In the Morning") that he'd written four years earlier which the group had performed regularly in Australia and which had been offered to other artists, but had somehow never been recorded by them until this soundtrack. The Bee Gees weren't too much more involved with Melody than the Beatles had been with Yellow Submarine, but they did provide this one "new" song in a fresh rendition, and it rivals the most beautiful singles they ever cut and caused many reviewers to say that the movie was worth seeing just for the song. There's nothing else here by the Bee Gees that's unique to this album, but on the 2002 Japanese reissue, the familiar tracks -- "First of May," "Melody Fair," "Give Your Best," and "To Love Somebody" -- all sound incredibly sharp and rich; the harps, the drums, the horns, and the strings on "To Love Somebody" are practically in your lap, and this gives a hint of how good the rest of the Bee Gees' catalog could sound if it were freshly remastered. Coupled with conductor/arranger ...
