From the musical postcards of the title track, &#8220;Down in the Quarter&#8221; and &#8220;Jazz Fest&#8221; to the gentle dedication of &#8220;You and I&#8221; and the inviting &#8220;My Garden,&#8221; Soniat wanders from his eponymous street address to both the famous and further corners of the Big Easy.     <\/p>\n<p>Along the way, Soniat admits to personal shortcomings (&#8220;Liquor Dream&#8221;) and expresses heartfelt dreams (&#8220;No Guarantee on Love&#8221;). Throughout the album \u00ad from the remorseful fumblings of &#8220;Late Last Night&#8221; to the sassy bounce of &#8220;Rich Bitch&#8221; and from the retrospective poetry of &#8220;Old Man&#8221; to the honky-tonk rambles of &#8220;Queen of the Blues&#8221; \u00ad Soniat mixes the traditions of his surroundings with his own heart and soul, making a musical gumbo that is fun and filling.    <\/p>\n<p><font size=\"1\">\u00a9 2005, M.
