Description
Forty-two years after its debut album and 18 years after its most recent studio recording, bayou rock legend Louisiana’s LeRoux is back with a stunning new studio album entitled One of Those Days. From the hard-driving title tune that opens the record to the album’s finale, a rich and vibrant version of the band’s classic ballad “New Orleans Ladies,” One of Those Days displays LeRoux at its best, with memorable songs, soaring harmonies, killer instrumental work, and tight arrangements.
The gang’s all here, and the ten tunes on One of Those Days make it clear that they’re all as good or better than ever. “It’s the best combination of LeRoux’s musical palette and represents the abilities of the band better than any album we’ve probably ever done,” asserts founding member Tony Haselden. “It covers a wide spectrum of blues, southern rock, and zydeco.”
Clearly the band is having a grand ol’ time, and their enthusiasm and relentless groove come across in every song. Musically, this record is magnificent. They know how to write a memorable chorus, and you’re never more than a two-step away from a good melody. The band is on fire, and singer Jeff McCarty is without a doubt the perfect fit for this iconic musical force.
