A work of great depth and beauty; dark and deep; intellectual Southern Gothic. The lyrics and music transport you to another sphere. Sophisticated, intelligent songs- intimately and emotionally sung and played by one of Louisiana’s premier singer/songwriters, pianists, and performers, “Cabaret Vieux Carre” stands among the best of Doug Duffey’s works. Taken from 3 different solo recording sessions done in New Orleans and Monroe, Louisiana between 1988-1992, the songs were recorded “live” in the studio in one take. As soon as one song was performed/recorded- and checked by the engineer- he went on to the next one; his preferred way of recording… and performing. These recordings are as close to a live Doug Duffey solo concert as you can get.Doug Duffey is a member of the Louisiana Hall of Fame & the National Blues Hall of Fame.Doug Duffey- vocal/acoustic grand pianoRecorded at Ultrasonic Studios, New Orleans; JY Recording Studio, West Monroe, LA; and The John Cale Studio, Monroe, LA.All songs written, arranged, performed and produced by Doug Duffey [except: House of the Rising Sun- Traditional- adapted & arranged by Doug Duffey]All songs published by Doug Duffey Music, BMI"Duffey is a musician's musician- an artist who lives his art.
