Review by Avila Rocha

Album Review: A La Ba Le Ma Cro by Rockin' Uncle Pott Alright, folks, buckle up because we’re diving into A La Ba Le Ma Cro, the latest earful from Rockin’ Uncle Pott. This Louisiana-born gem is drenched in Folk, World, and Country vibes, like a sonic gumbo that somehow feels both familiar and refreshingly weird. Released under the Houma label (props to them for not calling it “Gumbo Records”), this album takes you on a journey through swampy melodies, toe-tapping rhythms, and lyrics that sound like they were scribbled on a napkin during a crawfish boil. Let’s zoom in on two tracks that stuck with me harder than gum on a summer sidewalk: “Le Ma Cro” and “A-La-Ba.” First up, “Le Ma Cro.” If I had to describe it in three words? Swampy, soulful, sneaky-good. The track starts off slow, almost like it’s lulling you into a false sense of security—then BAM! It hits you with this hypnotic accordion riff that makes your feet move whether you want them to or not. It’s the kind of song that could soundtrack a moonlit bayou boat ride or a rowdy Cajun kitchen party. You can practically smell the étouffée wafting through the air while listening. What makes it unforgettable? Probably the way it balances laid-back grooves with just enough spice to keep things interesting. Plus, there’s something oddly satisfying about singing along to a chorus you don’t fully understand but somehow feel deep in your bones. Then there’s “A-La-Ba,” which might as well be the album's wild card. This one kicks off with a jaunty fiddle line that sounds like it escaped from an old-time hoedown. But don’t let its cheerful exterior fool ya—it’s got layers, man. About halfway through, the tempo shifts, and suddenly you’re caught in this whirlwind of handclaps and harmonica solos that feel like they’re daring you to sit still. Spoiler alert: you won’t. The whole thing is so infectious, I accidentally danced my way into a lamp last night. Worth it? Absolutely. Now, here’s the kicker: listening to A La Ba Le Ma Cro feels less like hearing an album and more like crashing a family reunion where everyone plays an instrument. It’s messy, heartfelt, and full of quirks that make you smile even when you don’t know why. Rockin’ Uncle Pott isn’t reinventing the wheel here, but who cares? Sometimes, all you need is a little mud on the tires to remind you how fun the ride can be. Final thought? If this album were a person, it’d be that slightly eccentric uncle who shows up uninvited to Thanksgiving but ends up being the life of the party. And honestly, isn’t that what we all need more of in our playlists—and our lives? Rating: 8/10 (Lost a point for making me bump into furniture.)
