“COOT's CD "has a Dr. John meets Widespread Panic-esque quality".”

“It's great to have your music in the magazine.”

“J.J. Cale backed by Little Feat.”

“Friday- October 8. 2010- Today’s Times-Picayune has a story about a bounce rapper who has become an “overnight” sensation despite being in the business for over 10 years. The same thing can be said for the soulful rockers, COOT. The band has actually been playing together for over 15 years. But beginning with a delightful opening set at the Krewe of MOMs Halloween Ball in 2008, they have gradually emerged as “ones to watch.” This month the band is on fire. Besides their first-ever performance at the Mid City club this evening, they are headlining their first weekend show at Le Bon Temp Roule next Saturday and they earned a coveted slot at the Voodoo Music Experience Halloween weekend. They have also been in the studio much of the summer recording their first album, which will be released in the coming months. For more details on the music of COOT, read my “5 Questions with Brian Rueb,” the lead guitarist, at http://neworleansmusiconline.com/wordpress/?p=264”

“Y'all were the perfect ending to the day. Folks had a blast. I heard great reviews about y'all afterwards. Thanks for coming out and performing.”

“Yea Baby!!! Diggin it!!”

“It's a COOT-iful world these days.”

“I LOVE COOT!!! I look forward to each show. I really enjoy listing to u guys music and watching y'all play.”

“Though they have been together as a band for 15 years, COOT is beginning to generate some traction on the New Orleans music scene. They play all original music that is steeped in the zeitgeist of the rich musical history of New Orleans. See COOT at the Zeitgeist at 8pm this Saturday, July 11.”
