"Live from the Road"

Released: 2010

"The Crawdaddies single, “Love That Natty Boh,” is a fun, up-beat song that is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. The song begins with a grooving intro. You will be treated to funky guitar licks, a solid walking bass line and steady kicking drums that allow you to immediately sink into the rhythm and get moving with the music. The Crawdaddies have created a feeling and by this I mean that you will feel like you are sitting at a live show, front seat in New Orleans, or any other city that swings, having a beer and having the best time of your life."
