PRESERVATION HALL JAZZ BAND & THE DEL McCOURY BAND 'American Legacies'
This record is the first of its kind, mixing Bluegrass with
old-style New Orleans Jazz, and it comes off quite well, thanks to musicians who
just get out and do their thing without pretentions or over-production and/or
unnecessary gimmicks. The Preservation Hall band has been a fixture in New
Orleans for well over a generation, and despite many changes in personnel over
the years, the musicians obviously love what they're doing and have a good
time --as do Del and his boys Ronnie and Rob. The disc includes some country
songs like YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A BABY TO CRY and JAMBALAYA,
as well as some good jazz outings on MILENBERG JOYS and I'LL FLY
AWAY. It's a fun album and brings to mind the old phrase "A good time was
had by all".
