Various Boppin' By The Bayou - Rock Me Mama (CD)

(Ace) 28 tracks, 16-page booklet with extensive liner notes to every single song plus many rare photos and label shots. And now: Put on your dancin' shoes! The eleventh CD in the 'By The Bayou' series goes back to Boppin' and there are some real skirt-swirlers among these tracks, although Ace has slipped in a couple of slower numbers to break up the tempo. This time around they have added to their regular sources, the vaults of J.D. Miller, Eddie Shuler, and Floyd Soileau, with a dip into Hack Kennedy's Big Howdy and Big B labels, plus rare goodies from the Richland label out of Morgan City, the Sho-Biz label from New Orleans, and even one track from the mighty Mercury.
