Louisiana Lue
Legend has it that there's a gorgeous young woman who lives alone in the swamp lands of the Bayou. Sometimes she'll appear unannounced to stock up on supplies, but then she quickly disappears again into the Bayou fog. Many men have tried to follow and approach her, but somehow she slips away from them every time. Seems she’s never really met her match. Nobody knows if she’d even like to find Mr. Right, but they keep on trying, to no avail. Rumor has it, she almost got hitched one time to a rugged hunter/fisherman, but she ended up as a runaway bride, so who knows what really happened there?
She has some fancy French name, but all the locals just call her "Lue". She sure knows her way around the foggy bog and obviously loves the serenity there. No-one quite knows how to approach her; she's always carrying... even if they could find her, but you never know when & where she might appear, so locals, and visitors alike, are always on the lookout for this local beauty.
Myth or truth they ask?… nobody seems to know all the details, but her story is legendary. If you haven't heard it, listen to the song or ask the locals next time you stop by to fish, down on the Bayou.

Behind the Music
This song was so fun to write! Huff started with those infectious driving guitars and then layered in some Banjo and Bass for complimentary texture. Once he found that swamp sound, the song started writing itself. We had fun bringing her legacy to life, in song.
Behind the Video
This video was put together by our collaborator and director, Bob Cusick. He setup an old nightclub look for our short performance parts, and Bob and I had lots of fun playing and singing on this one. I love how Cusick brings in the local flavor and culture through his images. It's a fun place to hang out for awhile...
