5 P.M. BREAKFAST
Recorded LIVE @ The Green Parrot Bar - Key West
The idea for the CD came to me almost at the last minute when I realized it was the perfect combination of factors: the band sounded great after being on the road for most of the year, New Year's was the perfect time and The Green Parrot Bar was the perfect place. This disc is a snap shot of some of what went down over the course of four wild and crazy nights. Enjoy! Rockin' Jake 5 p.m .Breakfast, Recorded 2003-04, Released Spring 2004, ZuluZu Records $17.99

FULL TIME WORK
When Rockin' Jake received the Offbeat award for Best Harmonica Player for the fourth time in January of 2002, the New Orleans music community gave a hearty ovation to a player who has been accepted as a fixture on the Crescent City music scene. Jake's style, a combination of pre-WWII influences and urban blues delivered with the heft of a rock arrangement, is well supported here by an outstanding core band made up of producer Brian Stoltz of the funky Meters on guitar, the might John Gros of Papa Grows Funk on keyboards, Ron Johnson from Karl Denson's Tiny Universe on bass and drummer Doug Belote, who plays with Stoltz behind Monk Boudreaux's Golden Eagle. Ben Ellman of Galactic adds his incendiary tenor saxopone playing to "Only Love Can Conquer Hate." You can almost see the sparks flying on "Slippin' Away" when Theryl "Houseman" de"Clouet and Irene Sage team up for the first time in memorable duet. The album closes with Jake's trademark arrangement of "Amazing Grace," a perennial high point of his live performances. Full Time Work Recorded 2001 & 02 Released 2002 ZuluZu $17.99

BADMOUTH
Rockin' Jake has hit the jackpot with BADMOUTH: great songs, fiery harmonica work, and an all-star band featuring guitarist Brian Stoltz (funky Meters, Neville Bros.), bassist David Hyde (Delbert McClinton, Zachary Richard), drummer Russ Broussard (John Mooney, Terrance Simien), and producer John Gros (George Porter, Jr.'s Runnin' Pardners) at the keys, with a host of guest stars adding their special spices to this heady mix. BADMOUTH rocks and rolls with abandon, drops the funk and reaches down under the surface of the Blues to give us a dynamic portrait of the Crescent City harmonica man (voted the city's best by the readers of OffBeat Magazine) who's played with Maria Muldaur, G. Love and Special Sauce, Jimmy Rogers, Pinetop Perkins, Tommy Ridgley, Eddie Bo and a score of others. Now Rockin' Jake has stepped out on his own to deliver a deeply personal document that will stay in your music machine for a long time to come."

"Let's Go Get 'Em isn't just another blues record.

John Sincliar -- from the liner notes. This cd is included in the Mardi Gras category because it includes the Mardi Gras song - Show Me Your Pretties featuring Oliver "Who Shot The Lala" Morgan.
