“Influences of his hometown, New Orleans, have added a distinct flavor and character to his expression of music…the songs are well written with vivid stories and imagery, and his fellow musicians are all top-shelf selections. This is a nice collection of roots, blues, and rock, which ends up being a cool bit of Americana.”

“That Leggett and his band are deeply rooted in the New Orleans scene is immediately apparent. The funk adds to “Little Things,” and the spirit of Dr. John wanders around in “She Prays,” with a beautiful piano intro and gorgeous horn parts . . . burning guitar work.”
