Mississippi Heat’s third Delmark Records album features eleven new songs by harpist and band frontman Pierre Lacocque, fourteen songs total. The great Inetta Visor belts out the blues on eight of the tracks, legendary guitarist John Primer provides his warm tones and underrated voice to three numbers, and singer Rhonda Preston rounds out the performances. Along with Lacocque’s fluid harmonica play, there are guest turns by talents like guitarist Carl Weathersby, keyboardist Chis "Hambone" Cameron, percussionist Ruben Alvarez, and the Chicago Horns, making Let’s Live It Up a welcome sequel to the band’s exciting 2008 album Hattiesburg Blues.
