House of Cards

Bluesman Peloquin plays harmonica, saxophone & sings on this rip roarin' album with arrangements that echo the greats from Louis Jordan to Stax/Volt to Tower of Power; the horns add a punchy fullness & his vocals are expressive & gritty. After twenty plus years as a sideman contributing to other artists (Albert King, Johnnie Johnson, Tommy Castro, E.C. Scott, Mitch Woods, Larry "Arkansas" Davis, Sy Klopps and Rhythmtown Jive), he is stepping into the spotlight with his first album as a leader. These years have been an education in American roots music that has helped to form his melting pot sound, as witnessed on this project of Blues, R&B and soul. Featuring special guests: Tommy Castro, (Blind Pig), Mitch Woods (Blind Pig), Larry Batiste, and Steve Freund (Delmark). a must have for all Blues lovers!
