FLAC (tracks+.cue, artwork) | Blues, R&B | 66:32 | 237 MbVolume 21 of the great musical adventure brings another helping of mid-century rhythm’n’blues from the bayou region of South Louisiana/SE Texas, an area that spreads from New Orleans in the east to Port Arthur in the west.
Here are the hot guitars, pounding pianos and honking saxes, spiced here and there with a little accordion or harmonica, all topped off by cool vocals.
This collection stems from the vaults of the most innovative record men of the region – Eddie Shuler, JD Miller, Floyd Soileau, Sam Montel and Huey Meaux.
All had a gift for recognising musical talent and letting it flourish.
They were able to encourage and cajole the best possible performances from their artists without corrupting their individuality.
