Produced by Jerry Hall and George Feldner, “Shine” delivers musical traditions with a taste of the swamp-soulful sound that Iko-Iko is known for. The result is a traditional recording without the electronic sampling for the feeling and warmth of analog. “The album features twelve tracks, nine from the pen of Drout who creates images in your mind with his fun and witty and sometimes thought provoking lyrics. ” - Eric Black/Blue Country 101FM Features performances by Graham Wood Drout, award-winning songwriter for Albert Castiglia, Joey Gilmore and others and Iko-Iko who’s former members now perform with some of the top artists today (Ron Dzuibla w/ Ricky Martin; Mike Mennell w/ Tom Jones and on and on…). An emotional cover of Portner/Grainger’s “Prescription for The Blues” gained national attention during the original release and continues to be a live favorite. Drout’s “Teasing the Trains” was most recently covered by Albert Castiglia.
