El DeOrazio has played with Smoky for years.

El DeOrazio played regularly with Preacher while living
in Austin following Hurricane Katrina and played guitar
on Preacher's new CD(pictured here) before returning
home to New Orleans in July,'07.
Heal Yourself or Die With the Blues was reviewed in the
June/July 2008 issue of Blues Revue Magazine, where
Tom Hyslop describes El DeOrazio's playing as "hotwire guitar"
and the record as "a winner".
