NEW ORLEANS HILLBILLY – Various Artists. BACM 680

Another BACM CD focusing on a particular US region or State – this one covering the niche but vibrant country music scene in and around New Orleans, mainly 1950s. All the performers are obscure but several had a loyal fan base in the area largely thanks to local R&B radio stations providing early morning country music air time as well several local club venues catering to country enthusiasts. Interesting selection of fresh-on-the ear artistes and songs.
