J.P. Soars' 'Let Go Of The Reins' was recorded during a whirlwind weeklong session at Tab Benoit's Whiskey Bayou studios in Houma Louisiana, with J.P on guitar and a band featuring Red Hots bassist Chris Peet on bass, and Benoit on drums. Together they recorded eleven songs in five days- seven originals which they wrote on the spot, plus four choice covers. The inspiration for the album came from the many nights they all spent jamming into the wee hours on the Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise and at the Big Blues Bender, and as expected, they captured many magical moments on this record.
