Last year marked the emergence of swamp poppers the Sensations who hit the ground running with their debut That Feeling Again and soon began backing up such luminaries as Rod Bernard, Tommy McLain, Johnnie Allan and Charles Mann. While their collective swamp pop lineage resembles a tightly woven spider web, the group centers around the prolific song writing of Charlo (a.k.a. Charles Guilbeau) who wrote the bulk of the Sensations’ disc as well as all of this one.

This second related effort serves better as a scrapbook documentary than any viable commercial release. Two tunes, the title song and “Take Me In Your Loving Arms” were interestingly recorded by a then tenor-voiced Charlo in the early ’80s and released only on a 45. The barstool weeper “I’ll Be Hurting The Rest Of My Life“ hails from Charlo’s ’80s country hat act the Rhythm Kings while the remaining 11 were recorded with his current mates.

Herein thereafter is where it gets confusing. Five of these songs are also on the Sensations disc with the only difference being that “Shelter From The Storm” and “Leave The City Behind” were sung by other vocalists. They’re pretty much the same versions here except this time Charlo has dubbed his mellow-ish voice over the existing arrangement. Three more tunes (“Burning Desire,” “That Was The Last Time,” “Sweet Cajun Honey”) happen to be the exact same versions found on both discs.

So, if you don’t mind a little rehash with or without the musical chairs of vocalists, there is some solid stuff here. “We Watched The Night (Prom Night 1966)” will likely conjure memories of older swamp pop songs as similarly the French sung “Long Temps Passe” recalls the hardscrabble life of preceding generations. Yet, with one-third of the material available on a previous full-priced disc released just six months prior, this is something more for ardent Sensations/swamp pop completists than anything else.
