Down in Louisiana, they do things differently. The
Southern state?s musical giants have always had
their own distinct recipe for American roots:
spiced with jazz, steeped in swamp-blues and
cooked up a little differently by every artist who
performs it.

As a second-generation child of the Bayou State,
Kenny Neal has taken his own inimitable guitar,
gale-force harp and roadworn voice all over the
globe. But in 2022, the Grammy-nominated blues
master?s latest album, Straight From The Heart,
finds him drawn by the siren call of his hometown
and musical ground zero, Baton Rouge.

'This is the first album I?ve ever recorded on my
own turf, and it truly came straight from the
heart,? says Neal, who both led and produced a
crack team of local musicians at his own
Brookstown Recording Studios. 'All the tributaries
of the blues converge here, flowing into one rich
tradition.?

You?ll hear all of Neal?s travels in Straight From
The Heart, but this latest album brings it all
back home in every sense. Lining up in the studio
alongside his Baton Rouge compadrés, the respect
that Neal commands on the scene also drew some
special guests, including hot-tip blues sensation
Christone ?Kingfish? Ingram (who co-writes and
plays stinger guitar on Mount Up On The Wings Of
The King), pop royalty Tito Jackson (on Two
Timing) and two songs with Rockin? Dopsie Junior &
The Zydeco Twisters. You?ll even hear Neal?s
supremely talented daughter Syreeta drive the
vocal outro of Two Timing.

'It was like a family reunion,? says Neal of the
good-natured sessions. 'It was excellent because I
had all the musicians that grew up under me here
in Baton Rouge. And just being in my own studio,
not worrying about the clock.?

Straight From The Heart is a fitting title for a
record that salutes the many loves of Neal?s life.
There?s the brass-driven opener Blues Keep
Chasing Me, which tips a hat to his recently
departed friend, Lucky Peterson. There?s the
touching piano-led Someone Somewhere, which
salutes his beloved father, harp master Raful
Neal, who put him on this path. Elsewhere, Neal?s
deep love for every side of his home state is
underlined by the zydeco chop of Bon Temps Rouler
and New Orleans, whose lyrics reference everything
from 'sippin? on Hurricane? to 'sittin? on the
Bayou catching catfish?.

Faced with such an open-hearted record, it?s
impossible not to reciprocate. And as the world
opens up and Kenny Neal embraces his natural
habitat of the road, this Louisiana icon will
bring a little bit of that Baton Rouge spirit onto
every stage he treads. 'It don't cost nothing to
share a little love and a little respect,? he
says. 'And we can all rise above??
