Album Description Versatile and transcendent, Snooks Eaglin is known for his electric R&B, as well as his acoustic folk classics. Billed in the mid-50s as "Li?l Ray Charles," this influential New Orleans guitarist can hold his own with just his voice and guitar, though he prefers playing with a rhythm section. Eaglin was first recorded by a folklorist who heard him on the streets of the French Quarter, and has since created diverse and unique music with influences ranging from traditional blues standards to jazz, classical, and gospel. Snooks Eaglin: New Orleans Street Singeris a poignant collection of his early work, and yet still holds true to his broad range and style. 32-page booklet, 25 classic tracks (including 8 bonus tracks not available on the original LP), 68 mins. of music!

CD ReviewsThe sounds of New Orleans Megan Romer | Ithaca, NY | 12/10/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Snooks Eaglin is New Orleans through and through. There's hardly a style of music that the great city has made famous that Eaglin doesn't play some of. He wails through fat electric blues tunes, strums through folky country delta songs and so much more. This album is a triumph, and brings the sounds of New Orleans as it once was to the world. Pick it up, you'll be glad you did." Truly an amazing record J. Ervin | Hollywood, Ca United States | 12/22/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I have been a blues fans for as long as I can remember. I just got this record and feel like I'm falling in love with Blues all over again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!!!" The Multi-Talented Snooks Eaglin D. B Pepper | Plainview, NY United States | 07/15/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "Eaglin is a multi-talented artist. He can play Country Blues, New Orleans-style R&B, and even Rock 'N' Roll. On this disc, he plays straight-forward Country Blues. "Careless Love" is masterfully done, "High Society is nothing short of dazzling, and "Helping Hand" is an emotional experience. The liner notes are highly detailed and extensive. I highly recommend purchasing this cd. Snooks is still with us, but often plays electric Blues at small clubs and at festivals, as opposed to Country Blues music. I'd love to see him perform some day."
