Pianist/vocalist Mitch Woods who has 6 CD's on the Blind Pig label, has recorded with John Lee Hooker, John Hammond, James Cotton, and more, as well as touring worldwide for 25 years brings together an unsung inner circle of Rock'n'Roll royalty, the original members of the Fats Domino band. This band features the architects of American music, the veritable founding fathers of Rock'n'Roll who laid the musical bedrock at J&M Studios in New Orleans in the early 50s. Woods reunited these legendary players, including drummer Earl Palmer (Little Richard, Fats Domino) and composed a batch of original tunes modeled after the original Fats Domino material. Legendary New Orleans producer, Dave Barholomew (who co-wrote many of Fats' hits, and featured on Elvis Costello's recent CD) came in on the project to help produce and play trumpet.
