“The New Orleans Sessions,“ Erika Luckett's latest release, reveals a powerfully distilled and authentic voice. Capturing the intimacy and directness of live performance, this work offers a sparse simplicity, proof that “less is more“. The richness comes through one voice, one guitar and a collection of fifteen songs.
Recording in New Orleans with mardi gras beads dangling on microphone stands and candles glowing on ochre walls, this album provides the space to revel in the nuances of Luckett's voice, the intricacy of her guitarwork, and the depth of her songwriting. From the bluesy, funk opener, “Kindness,“ to the jazz-tinged “Hold On“ and the flamenco influenced “Si Volvera,“ Luckett's writing continues to demonstrate a vast palette of elements and flavors.
A city where music flows effortlessly and musical traditions mix as smoothly as whiskey and water, New Orleans provides fertile ground for Erika Luckett's latest musical offering.
