Tab Benoit - Brother To The Blues

On this 2006 release, Tab Benoit, the blues guitarist who throughout his career has embraced virtually every shade of American roots music, reconnects to his earliest and most profound influences with the help of some old friends. The thirteen-track set features Benoit's solid guitar and vocal attack supported by the popular Louisiana band, LeRoux, with the addition of special guest appearances by some of the most seasoned country and Cajun songwriters and musicians of the past three decades: Jim Lauderdale, Billy Joe Shaver and fiddler Waylon Thibodeaux.

Personnel: Tab Benoit (vocals, guitar, pedal steel), Jim Lauderdale (vocal), Billy Joe Shaver (vocal), Waylon Thibodeaux (fiddle) & Louisiana's LeRoux: Tony Haselden (guitars, banjo, back-up vocal), Nelson Blanchard (B3, piano, Wurlitzer), Leon Medica (bass), David Peters (drums, percussion)
