The late Dalton Reed hailed from Lafayette, Louisiana, where he had recorded several singles for local labels. After hearing one of these on a jukebox in Lafayette, Rounder's Scott Billington sought out the man behind the breathtaking voice. Along with Lee Allen Zeno of Buckwheat Zydeco's band, Reed and Billington produced a classic soul record that includes new songs from Dan Penn, Delbert McClinton, Doc Pomus and Mac Rebennack. This is no-nonsense, passionate music sung by a master and played by a band of South Louisiana's best musicians.
