With performances culled from a volcanic two-night stand in Nashville in 2007, NIGHT TRAIN TO NASHVILLE confirms what blues insiders have known for a long time: Tab Benoit is the real deal. Hot on the heels of winning the 2006 B.B. King Entertainer of the Year award, Benoit ripped through these 11 keepers with an array of star guests from across the American roots firmament. Jim Lauderdale appears on the sensually nostalgic "Moon Coming Over the Hill" while set closer "Stackolina" features cajun fiddler/washboardist Waylon Thibodeaux and Fabulous Thunderbirds singer Kim Wilson. The star of the show though, naturally, is Benoit, who with the nastiest of telecaster licks, cements his status as the Louisianian swamp blues answer to Stevie Ray Vaughn.
