SPECIAL NOTE
"NO WIND, NO RAIN, NO WINTER STORM COULD STOP THIS ALBUM"
During production of this CD, Hurricane Katrina and Rita hit New Orleans, Louisiana and other parts of the South. Schoolboy Cleve had one tune recorded live, from a performance with a trumpet player named Marcus, from New Orleans who happened to be blind. But had love and vision of the city and its sound of music, which you can clearly feel when you hear him on this CD.
He played with so much feeling; it truly captured the New Orleans, Louisiana sound. This is his own story told in music, CD title track Friday Night (The New Orleans, LA sound).
A GREAT CD TO HAVE IN YOUR COLLECTION

South to West - Iron and Gold
author: jzlionI love this record! It's the real thing. Schoolboy Cleve weaves a great journey through his unique reflection of that rural Louisiana sound. One of the most honest, raw and personal blues albums I've heard...
South to West - Iron and Gold
author: Martin Feldmann, Frankfurt/Main, GermanyA good CD, well produced. I like the nice down home blues. The poor sound quality doesn´t bother me. I heard rural blues like that in southern juke joints when I made several trips to the USA in the 1980s. I got the old "Blues Connoisseur" of Schoolboy Cleve "My Heart Is Crying"/"If It´s Love You Want Come To Me" already by US mail service in the mid 1970s when I was still on school.
