---Sigma Kappa greatly enjoyed the Bluebirds playing at our Spring Party. Everyone was talking about how great the band was all night.  I think that this was the best band that we have ever had at a party.  They were fun, very entertaining, and played lots of great music that just about everyone knew. The dance floor was crowded all night.  Everyone really enjoyed themselves. I think we owe most of the fun we had to the wonderful entertainment of the Bluebirds. Booking them was very easy and they came all the way to Ruston from Shreveport when it was a very busy time for them. We will definitely be giving them a call the next time we have a party. GREAT band!!!!-

Buddy Flett - Mississippi Sea

"Mississippi Sea" marks a bit of a departure from Buddy's "sound" with the Bluebirds. Acoustic blues, nine songs written or co-written by Buddy. A deep, laid back artistic statement by a passionate Observer of the South. The imagery on these original tunes is deeper than the Mississippi Sea. A wider point of reference than the Mississippi Delta, with the Deep South mystique of the Ark-La-Miss and the hard-edged feel pioneered by Texans like Lightnin' Hopkins.

"Flett's six-string work sounds like the missing Louisiana link to Elmore James and Muddy Waters" -Scott Jordan, Gambit Weekly, New Orleans.  ++more info
