The way this CD starts out, you might not want to listen to it alone in the woods on a moonlit night, when the Loup Garou might be on the prowl. So real are the sound effects on the title cut of Loup Garouthat one may begin to believe in the legendary werewolf of the bayou country. Bruce Sunpie Barnes has created a colorful rendition of the folktale -- if it is just a story. There are bloodcurdling howls and scary laughter, courtesy of Barnes' voice, along with his atmospheric harmonica riffs and screeches and wails from Jerry Embree's saxophone. After they get the blood pumping with a good scare, Bruce Sunpie Barnes & the Louisiana Sunspots set about the business of producing blues and zydeco for dancing. Most of the tunes are written by the bandleader of multifarious talents. He sings and plays many instruments, he used to be a pro-football player with the Kansas City ...

Their playlist of covers ranged from Jason Mraz to Zac Brown Band. For a three piece, they back a lot of bunch. For those who missed hearing them, watch for their upcoming gigs on our EVENTS calender. They are due to play again here at Cheeky Monkey for the October 4th First ...

Q. What was Bob Dylan's first double (LP) album called? A. Blonde on Blonde Blonde on Blonde is the seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on May 16, 1966 on Columbia Records. Recording sessions began in New York in October 1965 with numerous backing musicians, including members of Dylan's live backing band, The Hawks. Though sessions continued until January 1966, they yielded only one track that made it onto the final album—"One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later)". At producer Bob Johnston's suggestion, Dylan, keyboardist Al Kooper, and guitarist Robbie Robertson moved to the CBS studios in Nashville, Tennessee. These sessions, augmented by some of Nashville's top session musicians, were more fruitful, and in February and March all the remaining songs for the album were recorded. Blonde on Blonde completed the trilogy of rock albums that Dylan recorded in 1965 and 1966, starting with Bringing It All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited. Critics often rank Blonde on Blonde as one of the greatest albums of all time. Combining the ...
