"Dreamsville"

I'm in Dreamsville, holding you
A dreamy view, just we two alone
If love in Dreamsville, time is new...

Biography

Alvin "Red" Tyler was inducted into the Louisiana Blues Hall of Fame, but he considered himself to be first and foremost a jazz player. Bebop was his first love, but rock & roll and the blues paid the bills better. In an era when bebop took New York by storm, audiences paid shockingly little attention to the great musicians playing straight-ahead jazz and bebop in New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz. The adaptable Red Tyler rolled with the punches, performing with some of the greats of the R&B tradition. He was a member of Dave Bartholmew's band, and sat in on the recordings of big names from Fats Domino to Little Richard, and Allen Toussaint to Dr. John.
