Iko Iko is having a big CD Release party at Tobacco Road for their latest 
release "Protected By Voodoo" THIS weekend!! 
Be there on Saturday July 20th!

If you're into live music and spent anytime in Miami, chances are you've heard 
the band Iko Iko.  For many years, Graham Drout and Iko Iko have beena fixture 
in the South Florida music scene.  While the band Iko Iko has seen many 
configuations over the years, the current ensemble of Larry Williams 
sophisticated twangy-blues, over the rock steady rhythm section of Mike 
Mennell and Stewart Jean, plus the honky tonk riffs of Ron Dziubla provides 
the best possible backdrop for the hauntily mesermizing tales sungby Graham 
Drout.  

My first reaction to this new disc, before hearing it was the first class 
packaging! This 12 track disc is loaded with Graham Drout's original artwork. 
As good the packaging is, the music is filled with energy. They've managed to 
capture the energy from live shows with tunes like "When the devil calls 
collect" to "bag me, tag me, take me away" and the groove of "walk with the 
zombie".

I describe Iko Iko's sound as swamp-funk, with influences by the Neville 
Brothers, Willie Dixon, Allmans, Van Morrison, Grateful Dead, Santana, 
etc.......

The disc, "Protected by Voodoo", is on the independent "Little Silver" label 
out of Miami.  I'm not sure if they're online but you can call/write for the 
disc (address & phone)
