 Marc Broussard is the Bayou's male answer to British siren Joss Stone. At the tender age of 22 (though he doesn't look a day over 16 in person), this Louisiana native can certainly wrap his growling baritone around tunes such as the lamenting "Lonely Night in Georgia" and "The Beauty of Who You Are" to transform decent songs into radio gold. But no other song on Broussard's debut, Carencro, boasts half the car-audio crush of "Home." Then again, neither do most other songs on the radio these days.
