New Orleans Blues Singer/Guitarist Kenny Neal To Release Christmas Album

With the holidays right around the corner, Cleopatra Blues will be releasing a Louisiana-flavored Christmas album from New Orleans blues singer/guitarist, Kenny Neal titled "I'll Be Home For Christmas." Neal has received multiple awards including the Blues Music Award for Song Of The Year and the Monterey Bay Blues Artist Of The Year Award - he has also earned multiple Grammy nominations and was inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall Of Fame in 2011!
Kenny Neal is an acclaimed multi-instrumentalist and is widely renowned as a modern swamp-blues master. Neal preserves the blues sound of his native south Louisiana, and learned his craft from Slim Harpo, Buddy Guy, and his father, harmonica player Raful Neal.
In 1987, Neal cut his critically acclaimed debut album for the Florida record producer Bob Greenlee - an updated swamp feast initially marketed on King Snake Records as Bio on the Bayou. Alligator Records picked it up the following year. In 1991, he proved to be a talented actor in the Broadway production of the folk musical Mule Bone (by Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston), singing numbers written by Taj Mahal. Neal has played with blues stars including Lucky Peterson and Lazy Lester, and was at one time a member of The Downchild Blues Band.
Kenny Neal's "I'll Be Home For Christmas" mixes both traditional and modern holiday favorites to enrich anyone's season!
