"Co-produced by Black Pumas guitarist Adrian Quesada and Gator’s longtime collaborator Will Walden at Quesada’s new Electric Deluxe Recorders studio in Austin, “For Louisiana” features 11 songs that, as Gator puts it in press materials accompanying the album, are 'equal parts love letter to the motherland and rallying cry for cultural progress.'

The music traverses from backwoods blues to country-tinged Americana to hard-boiled rootsy rock & roll and beyond, with Black Pumas keyboardist JaRon Marshall and Gator’s longtime drummer Adam Nurre among the key contributors to the sessions."
