THE LOUISIANA RABBIT HOLE


Here's a few from the Ace Records Boppin' By the Bayou series of compilations, twenty two in all, all from Louisiana and most cuts pretty damn obscure. The only name below you're likely to recognize is Slim Harpo and his cut has a little faster tempo then his better known fare. The compilations are packed with great cuts crossing all sorts of genres; blues, rhythm 'n' blues, soul, cajun, zydeco, country, hillbilly, bluegrass, Mississippi hill blues, gospel and boogie-woogie. These were picked at random so you get an idea of the quality, The breadth of this series is mind-blowing in its diversity. This is gonna take forever.
