Baby Don't by Sarah Quintana
Stepping into the role as producer, bandleader and electric guitarist, Quintana set out to make a Louisiana record on her own terms. Having previously worked with artists like Leyla McCalla, Cajun legends, Beausoleil avec Michael Doucet, Kevin Clark of The Nightcrawlers, The Generationals, The Iguanas, Paul Sanchez, Quintana’s thought long and hard about what it means to be from New Orleans. For her third full-length studio album, she has made a Louisiana record— her own way. It’s raw, traditional, timelessly cool, played with her friends and family.
