Ace Records bracht al vier albums uit in By The Bayou serie. Voor wie daarmee bekend is, weet wat voor lekkers er wordt voorgeschoteld, maar ook nieuwkomers in Louisiana swampland zullen niet worden teleurgesteld. Propvol en voorbeeldig samengesteld overzicht zich uitstrekkend van blues tot boogie, country tot calypso, gospel tot r&b en cajun tot rock ’n roll met obscure namen als Wonder Boy Travis, Ivory Jackson en Lonsesone Sundown.
The latest release in our popular “By The Bayou” series takes a second dip into Louisiana’s 1950s-early 60s R&B and rockin’ blues.
All 28 tracks are either ultra-rare records or unissued tracks from the vaults of J.D. Miller, Eddie Shuler, Floyd Soileau, Sam Montel and Jake Graffagnino.
