Hard-charging Indiana blues duo Left Lane Cruiser are back with Bayport BBQ Blues. Featuring Freddy J IV on guitar and vocals and Brenn “Sausage Paw” Beck on drums, washboard, and trash kit, it’s a gritty, high-octane tribute to the late Chris Jonson, the creator of the Deep Blues Festival.

On Bayport BBQ Blues, Left Lane Cruiser deliver a powerful blend of raw blues rock that’s perfect for setting the tone for any house party, backyard barbecue, or juke joint get-down. Freddy J IV’s vocal rasp and ferocious hoodoo slide guitar paired with Sausage Paw’s rhythmic stomp create a sound both primal and intoxicating, truly capturing the essence of the duo’s live energy. What sets Left Lane Cruiser apart is their genuine connection to the blues. They don’t just play the music; they live it. This authenticity runs through every track on Bayport BBQ Blues, an album that speaks directly to the soul.

Left Lane Cruiser are the real deal and have been living and breathing the blues for over a decade. Their sound is deeply rooted in the North Mississippi hill country blues tradition, drawing inspiration from the legendary musicians associated with the area. Since their formation, Left Lane Cruiser have carved out a reputation for their authentic and uncompromising sound. The duo’s journey began in earnest when they were signed to Alive Records in July 2007. Their debut album, Bring Yo' Ass To The Table showcased their raw, unfiltered approach to blues rock, and kickstarted their dedicated following. Bayport BBQ Blues continues in this tradition, pushing their sound to its fullest while staying true to their roots. It’s a fiery, passionate record that celebrates the blues in its purest and most powerful form.
