"Keep Coming Back" more than confirms Broussard as an artist uniquely gifted in channeling the multiple spirits of classic R&B and soul into contemporary terms. The Louisiana-based bayou soul troubadour recorded the collection earlier this year in a whirlwind 11-day session at Nashville's historic Ocean Way Studios.
Broussard was joined in the studio by his road band, as well as such Music City session stars as keyboardist/accordion player Tim Akers (Rascal Flatts, LeAnn Rimes, Keith Urban) and guitarist Gary Burnette (Big & Rich, Etta James). "Keep Coming Back" was co-produced by Broussard with his longtime collaborators Justin Tocket and Calvin Turner.
In addition, two noteworthy guests appear on "Keep Coming Back" -- LeAnn Rimes, whose country-meets-swamp-blues turn on "When It's Good" returns the compliment Broussard paid as co-writer and vocal partner on "Nothing Wrong," from her top 5-charting 2007 album, "Family"; and pop/rock sensation Sara Bareilles, who has opened several Broussard tours, and lends vocals to the powerful ballad "Why Should She Wait."
Broussard and his band will herald the album's release with a wide-ranging tour schedule. Among the highlights will be co-headline dates with Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, as well as a number of European and North American festivals.
