George Benson gets back to basics on Walking to New Orleans, the jazz guitar legend's tribute to both piano pounding hit machine Fats Domino and the original rock guitar hero and poet, Chuck Berry. Walking to New Orleans was Benson's first recording since 2013's "Inspiration" the Tribute to Nat King Cole, but it couldn’t be more different. Where Benson embellished Cole's cool tunes with lush orchestral arrangements, Walking to New Orleans came about by getting down in a Music Row studio, with a quartet of first rate Nashville musicians. This was Benson's 45th studio album, and few sound as loose limbed and flat out fun.Its nice to see a legend such as george laying a tribute to his predecessors for their ground work in the business.
