Who started this oversinging style? I can't listen to today's singers, even though many have great voices. Was it Stevie Wonder?

Could somebody post 'Hot To Handle", please? I recently found the 45 but it's scratched. Thanks.

"El Paso Gas" is on the Winston LP. It can be heard on youtube. Does that song have a mexican rhythm? I'm starting to doubt my last post here. And those two tracks on LONESTARSTOMP were very good choices. Never mind.

I'm surprised that this 45 got as high as #77 on the charts because it is hard to find. I've only found two copies in my life and I"ve seen a fair amount of records. Sometimes a record will get by you though. Is this record really that scarce?

I have this 45 with a black label that looks like your label. It must have been issued separately also. I wonder if 48-0006 was the sixth 45 ever issued?

Two years ago, I got the last copies of this record out of Eddie's Music Shop (Goldband Studios) in Lake Charles. (It was supposedly Eddie Shuler's stash and they held on to it longer than the rest of the records. I got 45 and 78 copies.) This version here is probably new but you can hear the ...

This record is fairly easy to find in South Louisiana. A clean copy is rare. It got played because it is soooo good.

This is almost identical to Roy Perkin's "You're On My Mind" on the Meladee label, which was possibly the first Swamp Pop 45. It was even rawer and more intense than this version. This verson is pretty intense though. Thanks.

Hey Mazzetta, Could you post the other side? I just sold this 45 and I'm kicking myself. It's slow but nice! Thanks alot.

This song was issued on an Electra label 45. It was also issued on a Bounty 45.

This is totally subjective but the Crickets (Buddy Holly & his band) was the most important American band. (Actually, Elvis with Scotty and Bill influenced more bands than anybody probably. Almost every southern and southwestern rock & roll band played like them after 1955, at least for awhile....

I am posting this in an effort to find some information on a record. I found the rarest Byrds record in a Shreveport, La. flea market in 2006(?). It's the Beefeaters 45 on the Bounty label. There is one known copy, I think. You can see it on the Byrdsflyght website on the discography page. (Jus...

I found the rarest Byrds record. It's the Beefeaters 45 on the Bounty label. There is one known copy, I think. I found it in the big Shreveport, Louisiana flea market (west of town) and bought it for a dime. You can see it on the Byrdsflyght website on the discography page. (Just google.... ...

I was hoping somebody would post this It's one of my all-time favorite vocal group recordings. Last year I found this LP and bought it for this recording. It was the only track that was marred. I thank the stars.

It's not a secret. In fact, it has been known since the 1970's. I never heard about it though. (J.B.Fuselier knew about it immediately, of course, but he never told it.) Nobody has taken the time to write a book about Iry Lejeune except Ron Yule so his efforts should be rewarded.

I'd rather hear the Louvin Brothers. Hank 666's music is good but if he was singing "moon/June" songs and his name wasn't Hank, he'd be little known.

I read that Chuck Berry's records were sometimes sped-up (stepped-up to a higher key) by Chess before they were released to the public. I doubt that "Johnny B. Goode' was sped-up because he would be singing (at least) two keys higher here, though he does sound like he's singing at the top of his...

The Stones played behind Chuck Berry at this show. He was the only act that they played behind. I posted this comment on the Chuck Berry T.A.M.I. video with the name of the book that confirmed this fact. The author interviewed Jack Nitzsche, who booked the Stones for the show.

Dylan's studio version, as I recollect, is less adventerious in his phrasing. More stately, anthem-like.

Does " Maggie Teyte Beau Soir" sound like this song? It was written before "She's Leaving Home".

There is an LP record that was released at the same time as the TV show. It has this theme song on it and soundtrack music. Great theme.

I can't believe how versatile this guy is. I was originally drawn to him because he sounded like Ernest Tubb.

I don't know too much about this new-fangled country music. I heard this recording on the radio and thought it was Ernest Tubb. I've been looking at every Tubb LP for the last 10 years, wondering why I couldn't find this song. I'm a little embarrassed because I buy and sell records. I'm gonna...

I requested the identification of a song called "MY Wife Thinks You're Dead". I thought that it was by E.T. but it was by Junior Brown. Thanks for your help, one and all.

Joe Werner and the Riverside(?) Ramblers 78 r.p.m. version of this song from the 1930's is superb. (It's on a staff label Bluebird. 1937?) It sold well. Nathan Abshire played with Joe Werner in the 1930's (in that band, I'm 99% positive) so Nathan might be on that recording. Correct me, if yo...

I taped this LP from a copy in the Baton Rouge library in 1979. There is an excellent recording of a solo harmonica player on this LP too. (I forget his name.) Could you post that, please. It is unusual to hear a solo harmonica player in any genre and this performance is great. (By the way,Na...

I recently read Ron Yule's book, "Iry Lejuene: Wailin' The Blues Cajun Style". It fills out Iry Lejuene's personality well. It also has two great (photo booth) photographs of Iry with Nathan Abshire and with Doug Kershaw. I would love to get a fair-sized (around 8x10") copy of each. Can anyb...

I recently read Ron Yule's book, "Iry Lejuene: Wailin' The Blues Cajun Style". It describes the typical house dance in the 1920'3 and 30's. in the Eunice, La. area. It states that Amade Ardoin was always the first sought-after musician. It describes his performance in some detail.

No one or two musicians created rock and roll. (Bill Haley was making pure rock and roll records in 1953 and you don't hear about him anymore. "Crazy, Man, Crazy" lacked soul but it's rock and roll.) Chuck Berry was THE guitar man, though. Ask Keith Richards. (Bill Haley's guitar players are...

Amazing voice! I love the Apollo sides. I wish there were more on Youtube. Nice Califone player too. They are hard to find these days.

I have to use a library computer so I'm unable to recieve this post without it breaking up alot. Could somebody please post this recording so that I can hear it. I love the Nellie Melba version and Maggie Teyte's "Beau Soir" is hypnotic. Thank you.

I've tried both and I prefer Don's. It's an eternal arguement down there. My favorite boudin is sold at a small grocery market in Kinder, on Hwy 190 in the middle of town. (Cheap too.) T-Boy's in Mamou and Crowley used to be my favorite but I find the flavors less intense now, though they clai...
