Review:
As soon as I heard Asphalt Ballet's debut album I quickly realized how great of a vocalist Gary Jeffries was. With Alligator Stew he has traded-in his hard rock riffs for the lap steel guitar sound of country swamp boogie.
  Welcome To Monticello...Live!!! is a live album that includes four studio tracks. "Louisiana Man" is a cool rocker that starts off the disc on the right foot while "Blood Money" is a great slower tempo number. "Two Wheels" has a hypnotizing bass pattern, and the closing live number "You Gotta Give" has an early Deep Purple sound. As for the studio tracks, they are fairly mellow, in fact "The Heist" could damn near pass for a Chris Isaak song!
  Will fans of hard rock like this album? I have my doubts. But at the same time it was interesting to hear what Gary Jeffries was up to these days. It is also refreshing to hear that he still has that exceptional blues influenced voice. Determine for yourself if Alligator Stew would be a worthy addition to your collection at www.alligatorstew.com.
