- Warner Music UK Limited/Warner Music Australia Pty Limited- 9340650009345- 400 grn
LET THEM TALK is the debut studio album by English actor and musician Hugh Laurie. The album, which consists of classic blues songs, was released on 9 May 2011 on Warner Bros. Records. Hugh Laurie plays piano and guitar on the album in addition to providing lead vocals. A glorious celebration of New Orleans blues, LET THEM TALK unites Laurie's musical talent with a very personal selection of standards and lost blues classics performed with his band of renowned musicians and some very special guest stars. Recorded at sessions in Los Angeles and New Orleans, LET THEM TALK sees Laurie on vocals and piano heading a team of musicians whose previous collective credits include work with varied artists. Together, they interpret and revive songs originally recorded by New Orleans blues legends such as Leadbelly, Robert Johnson, Ray Charles, and Memphis Slim. LET THEM TALK also features collaborations with the "Soul Queen Of New Orleans" Irma Thomas and Sir Tom Jones on the little known "Baby, Please Make A Change." Irma Thomas also leads the vocals on "John Henry," while Laurie's lifelong hero Dr. John provides a momentous collaboration on "After You've Gone." Another legend, the producer, musician, and songwriter Allen Toussaint, contributes horn arrangements throughout.

Music has been present in Hugh Laurie’s career in some form or another since the days of Fry & Laurie, even working its way into House, the American television series that turned him into an international star in the 2000s. Without House, Hugh Laurie would never have been granted the opportunity to record an album like 2011’s LET THEM TALK, a full-blooded immersion into American blues via New Orleans, shepherded by acclaimed roots producer Joe Henry and featuring such Big Easy heavy-hitters as Allen Toussaint, Dr. John, and Irma Thomas. To his enormous credit, Laurie never sounds like a dilettante among this group. He holds his own, working his way into the marrow of the songs, playing credible piano throughout the record. Which isn’t to say that he quite makes this selection of standards his own, either. There are reworkings and reinterpretations, “Tipitina” in particular being turned on its head, but the problem with LET THEM TALK isn’t the guts and blood of the music, or the slightly studious air. No, the problem is how Laurie’s blues accent inevitably slides into affectations quite familiar from House. He can’t help it, that’s his American accent, but it’s disarming to have a number cooking along and all of a sudden Princeton Plainsboro’s favorite misanthrope has taken the lead. Definitely recommend this!
