I Tell You What

I Tell You What is starting 2007 off with the release of What Would You Do?, The 17 song record was recorded in early 2006 and is available now from CDbaby.com or the Louisiana Music Factory.

Warm soulful vocals, clever honest lyrics, original song-writing, and ferocious improvisational episodes are the foundation of I Tell You What's debut, What Would You Do? A bluesy, rocking album, What Would You Do? will make blues fans blue, rockers rock, and hipsters hip. What Would You Do? serves so many great tastes and they taste great together!

I Tell You What covers a wide range of styles, from blues and jazz to rock and folk, even soul and punk. Singer/songwriter/guitar instigant Adam Crochetabsorbed the rich musical scene of New Orleans, incorporating it intohis music, which is basically blues, but is actually very wide-ranging.He's not only a great lead guitarist with a style that is at onceoriginal and familiar, but also a very good singer-songwriter, whowrites great lyrics and songs that could stand up in an acousticsetting. Crochet draws on influences including Peter Green'spsychedelic blues, Snooks Eaglin's guitar rumbas and Jimi Hendrix'scombination of song craft and improvisational explosiveness.

With beautifully spare production, What Would You Do? is fronted by Crochet's recognizable vocals and guitar playing. Of 17 tracks, Crochet wrote 16 (with track 12 penned by Bill Richards) all of which highlight his aggressive tendencies as a songwriter and soloist. Crochet is able to combine the sophisticated absurdity of Steve Martin with the boldness of Stevie Ray Vaughn. All while creating a loosely produced, song-filled rockalbum appealing to indie, folk, jam band, rock, soul and blues fans alike.

Simply, I Tell You What's What Would You Do?takes you to an innocent time in New Orleans when a man, contemplatinghis life and his place in the world, just can't put answers to all ofhis questions.

Here is an albumthat hides the wit, but has plenty of it. This is the sort of albumthat reveals itself to you again and again as you become more familiarwith it. Every song is a gem. This is I Tell You What from New Orleans, LA.
