South to Louisiana – R&B on the Bayou
Several fun-packed R’n’B compilations have sashayed their way onto the World Beat desk recently, led by a wonderful set of forgotten gems, Rhythm ‘n’ Bluesin’ By The Bayou — Mad Dogs, Sweet Daddies & Pretty Babies, and a superb collection of early hits by Memphis-born pianist and singer Roscoe Gordon. Both albums are on the Ace label.
