Brown, Leonard "Lowdown" - Street Party CD

The second album by Houston guitarist Leonard "Lowdown" Brown, Street Party feels like a chronicle of Brown's life. The jubilant, funky title track recalls those bygone times in the rural outskirts of Gary. Lowdown shakes away the blues with some harmonies from The Crimestoppers, his soulful hooks, and a string of sharp, joyous licks.
