Let Them Talk

‘Let Them Talk: Special Edition’ is an expanded version of his critically acclaimed debut album and is boosted with a wealth of bonus material.

‘Let Them Talk: Special Edition’ compiles the original much-loved ‘Let Them Talk’ album with four new recordings and a live DVD. Three of the four new recordings are songs that were recorded with producer Joe Henry in Los Angeles in October: the focus track ‘Hallelujah, I Love Her So’ is Laurie’s inter­pretation of Ray Charles’ classic 1956 single; ‘Waiting For A Train’ was originally written by early country pioneer Jimmie Rodgers; and ‘Crazy Arms’, a Ralph Mooney and Chuck Seals composition popularised by Ray Price. The fourth new recording is a live version of ‘You Don’t Know My Mind’ that was recorded in Paris in May.

The ‘Special Edition’ is completed by a DVD which features the PBS Live special performance which was recorded in New Orleans. The 45 minute film features live footage of many of the highlights of the ‘Let Them Talk’ album together with several other songs resurrected blues classics.
