Given the well-deserved reputation Andrews and his Orleans Avenue band have for incendiary live performances, one had to wonder if it would translate in their studio offerings for independent labels. It didn't because they'd never had the budget to get the vibe right. Backatown is the first time that Orleans Avenue have had an actual budget to capture the Trombone Shorty experience, and they've made a studio record that offers a real taste of the live show's excitement. Shorty calls his music ‘supafunkrock,’ and it's an accurate term for the aural gumbo on this fingerpopping, butt-shakin' mix set. It contains 13 Shorty originals and an original interpretation of Allen Toussaint's "On Your Way Down," on which Toussaint plays piano. Backatown is everything popular American music should be; yet it's also what sets Andrews and Orleans Avenue, and New Orleans music in general, apart, without compromise.
Condition: Brand new factory sealed.
