The Deslondes
The Deslondes made Don’t Let It Die Vol. 1 as more than a tribute album—they wanted to uplift their community as much as honor their influences. Alongside songs by legends like Swamp Dogg, Johnny Cash, and Clifton Chenier, they cover work by friends and peers such as Nick Woods and Pat Reedy. The goal was to spotlight a shared musical circle—artists who tour together, trade songs, and influence one another. The album reflects that tight-knit, ever-evolving community. Its themes—wandering, homecoming, loss, and renewal—mirror the band’s own lives. Songs like Kiki Cavazos’ “I’m Gone” (a formative influence) and Chenier’s “I’m Coming Home” highlight both restlessness and belonging. Recording in January 2025 on Deslonde Street in New Orleans—where the band first formed—gave the project added meaning. A rare blizzard kept them inside for a week, creating a focused, intimate environment. They recorded live to tape, often spontaneously, capturing a loose, raw energy. Sequenced from apocalyptic visions to a hopeful finale, the album feels timely without being overtly political. Ultimately, it’s a full-circle project: a return to their roots, a celebration of their community, and a reaffirmation of why they make music.
