New Orleans’ genre-stretching folk-rock mischief-maker, Carsie Blanton, writes songs fraught with humor and poignancy inspired by musicians as diversly rich as Ray Charles and Joni Mitchell; The Beatles and Erykah Badu; Nick Lowe, Tom Waits, Dolly Parton and Billie Holiday. With healthy doses of moxie and spice, Blanton revs up a spirited night.
