About this album
New Orleans Street Singer is a vivid snapshot of Snooks Eaglin’s New Orleans guitar style, mixing folk-blues repertoire with the city’s easy swing and plain-spoken emotion. Issued in 1959, it presents Eaglin as a versatile singer and guitarist whose deep command of tradition made familiar songs feel freshly lived-in. His relaxed phrasing and agile picking give the material real character, whether on blues standards, ballads or older roots numbers. As an early statement from one of New Orleans’ distinctive postwar voices, the EP helped underline Eaglin’s role in carrying local acoustic-blues traditions into the modern era.
