Eric's rich, smoky vocals lead the way through an infectious blend of smoldering heart-tuggers ("Lay Back Down"), rhythm-heavy workouts ("Low On Cash"), Crescent City grooves ("Mind Your Business") and Latin-tinged R&B ("Tried And True"). "Terrific, tasty rock 'n' soul, with a New Orleans twist" --Washington Post
