Courts of Lulu

Austin's Omar & the Howlers are as tight a band as you'll find mining the blues-rock vein. Omar's distinctive songs are blues-based with a traditional blues sound, but they carry a lyric sense unique in the world of young blues artists. Omar grew up in McComb, Mississippi, on the outskirts of which you will find the Courts of Lulu, a motel court with a juke joint in the front that served as the inspiration for this album.
