About Night Train To Nashville

Product Description Tab Benoit travels from the bayou on a blues trek with his 2008 album, Night Train To Nashville with Louisiana's Leroux, Kim Wilson, Waylon Thibodeaux, Jim Lauderdale and Jumpin' Johnny. In 2003, Tab formed an organization promoting awareness of coastal wetlands preservation known as "Voice of the Wetlands." Tab is featured in the current IMAX film, Hurricane on the Bayou. 11 tracks. From the Artist "All the guests on this record - Kim Wilson and Jimmy Hall and all the rest - make this a lot different from what I normally do on stage every night," says Tab Benoit. "These aren't guys who come to every show I play. They're all legends, and it's a real honor to have them come and play at my show. And to hear them sing my songs is a really great experience." About the Artist Tab Benoit is a Cajun man who's definitely got the blues. Born November 17, 1967, he grew up in Houma, Louisiana. A guitar player since his teenage years, he hung out at the Blues Box, a ramshackle music club and cultural center in nearby Baton Rouge run by guitarist Tabby Thomas. Playing guitar alongside Thomas, Raful Neal, Henry Gray and other high-profile regulars at the club, Benoit learned the blues first-hand from a faculty of living blues legends. The nightly impromptu gigs were enough to inspire Benoit to assemble his own band - a stripped down bass-and-drums unit propelled by his solid guitar skills and leathery, Cajun-spiced vocal attack. He took his show on the road in the early `90s and hasn't stopped since. An environmental activist as well as a stellar blues musician, Benoit has made the preservation of the endangered delta wetlands his personal crusade. He serves as president of Voice of the Wetlands, an environmental organization he co-founded in 2003, and he appeared prominently in "Hurricane on the Bayou," a 2006 documentary by filmmaker McGillivray Freeman that chronicles life in Louisiana after Katrina. "Hurricane on the Bayou" played in IMAX theaters in the U.S., Canada and Europe throughout 2007.
