“The American South overflows with the riches of regional music, the product of centuries of cross-cultural pollination. It is the rare musician who can transform these musical resources into art that speaks to the world at large. New Orleans native Burke Ingraffia is one of them, with a lyrical gift that can call to mind Mose Allison, Hoagy Carmichael or Allen Toussaint, with an added touch of sly humor. His songs are a delight for the ear, the mind and the soul.”
– Multi Grammy Award Winning Producer Scott Billington

“Nearly every track offered on Waves offers a roadmap for just such tender times.”
– Lilli Lewis, OffBeat Magazine
“It is songwriter’s songwriting”
“It is an album for the “becoming,” the struggling, and so I can relate and am moved by the sentiments. But I don’t think that it would be such a delight, without some of the humor on the album. “
