Hugh Laurie - Winin' Boy

09.07.2012

Live at Miles Davis Hall

 

Hugh Laurie gained international recognition as an actor in the american drama House. But he is more than an actor : writer, pianist and singer, he is influenced by Muddy Water, Ray Charles or Dr John, to name but a few. Let Them Talk, his first album, is a celebration of New Orleans blues, a genre that drives Hugh’s musical raison d’être. I love this music, as authentically as I know how, and I want you to love it too. And if you get a thousandth of the pleasure from it that I’ve had, we’re all ahead of the game. (FFJM © 2012)
