The Hippo, New Hampshire’s largest weekly newspaper, just did a nice feature article on us.  Thanks to Michael Witthaus for the kind words and for traveling out to Brattleboro to see us as well.

We were psyched to learn recently that Metronome magazine named our album, The Gods We Were Before, a top 5 pick for April.  Since they don’t have an online version of their publication, here’s the full review:

The cleverly named Gumbo Diablo do exactly as their namesake would imply: serve up a flaming hot dish of Cajun, roots-rock sounds sure to quench everyone’s musical thirst. Featuring the fine lead vocals of Wendy Kinal, the savvy, upbeat accordion work and keyboard playing of Ken Hiatt, the fluid bass lines of Keith Lewis, and the flawless timekeeping of Dave Langhoff, along with guest guitarists Doug Batchelder and Glen Reilly, Gumbo Diablo deliver spot-on flavors of New Orleans and the breezy Caribbean. Check out the tracks “The Hard Sell,” the Cajun party rave-up “Do the Math,” the electric sway of “Make Me Lose My Mind,” and the accordion-propelled “O Fole Roncou.” Gumbo Diablo may think they’ve fallen from grace, but after one listen to their new CD, The Gods We Were Before, we’re here to tell you their highness is still well intact.

Metronome is doing a feature on us for the May issue–look for it at your local music store!

The rave reviews keep pouring in!  The Noise describes our debut album, The Gods We Were Before, as:

…irresistibly appealing…a refreshing world music stew of life-affirming numbers

Another nice review came in this weekend for our debut album, The Gods We Were Before.  Bill Copeland writes:

Gumbo Diablo have come up with a lively, entertaining sound on their new CD. Roots, Cajun, rock and roll, and the coolest accordion work around combine into something fun, edgy, and inspiring.

Another nice bit of press for our debut album, The Gods We Were Before: our tune The Hard Sell was chosen as a top 10 pick for 2011.  Thanks to Pete Chianca for the kind words.

You can buy The Hard Sell — and all of our other tunes! — at CD Baby.

The Patriot Ledger has a nice review of our debut album, The Gods We Were Before.  Pete Chianca writes:

Can Gumbo Diablo really be from Boston? From the album’s opening accordion kick the band is unabashedly Bayou, rollicking with a groove that reeks of New Orleans sweat and hurricanes (the drink, not the storms).
