Review
In spite of Sinegal’s zydeco credentials, this is a fairly straight blues album with faint or nonexistent traces of zydeco. Even the instrumental “Blues into Zydeco” is more a hard-charging roadhouse number than something listeners would be likely to identify as a zydeco cut. Sinegal co-wrote much of the material with Allen Toussaint, and it has an easygoing feel that often incorporates rolling New Orleans funk and R&B rhythms, most obviously on Toussaint’s “Line Dancer.” Sinegal has a competent voice, plays well in a contemporary electric style that owes something to B.B. King, and throws in some instrumentals along the way.
