DESCRIPTION
2014 release second visit to the dynamic South Louisiana R&B scene. Ace has added the work of another Louisiana record man, Sam Montel from Baton Rouge, to the vast stockpile of material in the vaults of J.D. Miller, Eddie Shuler, Floyd Soileau & Jake Graffagnino. In addition to the talents of the lead vocalists, the backing musicians on many of the tracks are also very accomplished. Guitar Gable is heard on many titles, as is Katie Webster on piano, sax giant Lionel Torrance, drummers Jockey Etienne and Warren Storm and Lazy Lester, who would play whatever instrument was asked of him; all are featured on many of the Crowley recordings. Classie Ballou's band was used often at Goldband, while the Upsetters, Little Richard's former outfit, can be heard on Lester Robertson's tracks. If you have rhythm in your bones and a love of the raw and rockin' then this compilation will transport your spirit to a Louisiana juke joint.
