THE LOVE LIGHT ORCHESTRA - LEAVE THE LIGHT ON
LABEL: NOLA BLUE RECORDS
RELEASE DATE: FEBRUARY 18, 2022
DISTRIBUTION: CPI & ORCHARD FCC CLEAN
The Memphis sound of the 1950’s is proudly celebrated by The Love Light Orchestra, a group fronted by acclaimed vocalist John Németh, who is backed by a 9-piece band of the most seasoned musicians from the Home of the Blues.
Guitarist Joe Restivo and arranger/ trumpeter Marc Franklin drew inspiration for the group’s name from Bobby “Blue” Bland’s 1961 hit ‘Turn On Your Love Light,’ and the concept from the orchestral sound of mid-century big band blues found on the singles of Bobby “Blue” Bland, B.B. King, and “Junior” Parker. “Leave The Light On,” the debut studio album from the ensemble, takes their devotion to the sound to the next level on a sophisticated recording of nine original songs and one cover written in tribute to the era of crooners, shouters, and entertainers, who ruled Beale Street in the days before rock ‘n’ roll and soul.
