"Combing Louisiana's bayous and barrooms for acts from R&B's colorful past, Orleans' Carlo Ditta presents a sampler of tracks by the likes of Roland Stone and Blu Lu Barker. Worth a listen."
People Magazine, April 12, 1999
"Carlo Ditta's Orleans Records is definitely in the very first rank of New Orleans record companies active in the '90s. For fourteen years Carlo has labored to produce a series of fine recordings by overlooked or under-recorded artists whose works are now recognized as important and colorful strains of the rich musical fabric of New Orleans. One-of-a-kind characters...are Carlo's specialty and stock-in-trade.... Taken as a whole, the Orleans Records catalog represents a remarkable achievement by a young man whose love of the music shines through his label's every release. The songs excerpted on this sampler themselves present a wildly various and richly rewarding tapestry of sounds from the Crescent City today. So stretch back and relax, enjoy the sounds of Orleans Records, and listen with your inner ears as Carlo Ditta takes a little mental stroll through the label's history."
