This five song EP from South Louisiana native Rod Melancon serves as a preview of Rod’s full-length album Southern Gothic, due out in September. Produced by former Dwight Yoakam lead guitarist Brian Whelan, LA-14 delivers Melancon’s Americana songwriting through a swamp-like, country blend that often borders on the parameters of psychedelic-rock, laced with strains of deep southern blues.
