Not classic Geo. Winston, but pretty amazing

"I love this CD. It has a meloncholy blues sound, very clean, with echoes of typical New Orleans dixieland, strains of Dr. John-type piano, and a touch of Winstoneque new age. Only wish it was longer."
George Winston?

"If you like the music of George Winston's earlier albums, especially the "seasons," December, Plains, Forest, Montana.....you will probably not like this one. Unfortunately, it is nothing like his earlier works. I would never have fallen in love with his music if it was all like Gulf Coast Blues. This new one is way too heavy, loud, and generally abrasive. I am very sorry to have to say these things, because I am such a big fan of his."
Good album, worthy cause

"George Winston's piano playing is always interesting, and it's great to hear him work out on songs in a New Orleans mode. His take on music by Booker, Butler and Dr John is actually pretty impressive. He's got his own approach and the chops to pull it off. The fact that this album supports the Katrina victims also comes as an extra recommendation."
