Description

19 tracks from the Lousiana based Goldband label, including great Zydeco names like Boozoo Chavis and his 50’s breakthru “Paper In My Shoes”, Jo-El Sonnier or Joe Bonsall’s take on “La Cucaracha” with his Acadian version, “La Cuca Rochman”. Not quite a reissue of the original LP, this one is a festively segued remastered and re-curated version made with the help of Southern Folklife Collection at UNC who have all the old Goldband archives now, and some songs include studio talk, count-ins, left off the original versions that reveal the way label head Eddie Shuler ran studio sessions back in the 1950s and ‘60s.
