Naw'lins boogie man
The cover shows an old beaten dusty piano that takes you back to old New Orleans keyboard kings like Ferdinand Joseph LaMothe aka Jelly Roll Morton, William Thomas Duprée aka Champion Jack Dupree, Antoine Dominique Domino aka Fats Domino, Huey Pierce Smith aka Huey "Piano" Smith, Henry "Roy" Byrd aka Professor Longhair, or more recently James Carroll Booker III aka Little Booker aka James Booker and Malcolm John Rebennack aka Dr John. All from New Orleans and all playing a pivotal instrument of New Orleans blues : piano. Lee Pons belongs to that long tradition : “It’s a tradition that came from the birth of blues, in the lumber and turpentine camps of the Delta to the parlors and juke joints. There was a time when the piano was the only instrument, besides the voice, in blues. It was king !”, he explained in an interview on American Blues Scene.
