“Bluesin’ By The Bayou”, a 2013 Ace Records UK release, includes a spicy mix of guitars, harmonicas, and even the occasional accordion, accompanying those tales of despair or machismo that are the recipe for the blues.
All the tracks stem from the studios of J.D. Miller in Crowley and Eddie Shuler in Lake Charles, Louisiana. These two men were wonders at spotting talent and getting the best out of the performers, as illustrated on the 28 tracks on this CD.
Half of the songs are heard here for the first time, while the other half have appeared before on obscure 45s or long-deleted reissue LPs. With blues giants Lightnin’ Slim, Lazy Lester, Slim Harpo and Lonesome Sundown augmented by lesser-known talents such as Silas Hogan, Jimmy Dotson, Joe Rich, Jimmy Anderson and Tal Miller, plus a touch of Zydeco from Clifton Chenier, Boozoo Chavis and Thaddeus Declouet, this is the first CD of its kind to be issued for many a moon.
