Devil In The Bayou - The Gold Star Recordings

Devil In The Bayou - The Gold Star Recordings

• Shrink-wrapped

(2-CD set with 112-page book) All of the Harry Choates' surviving Gold Star masters are together here for the first time, plus his earliest recordings, made with Happy Fats and the Rayne-Bo Ramblers in 1940, as well as the sides he made for the Cajun Classics and O. T. label in 1947. Untutored, he was one of the instrument's great natural talents, and his fiddle sings with the joy of making music. The 112-page-book accompanying this set contains a comprehensive, newly-researched biography of Choates by Andrew Brown, and contains many rare and previously unpublished photos and illustrations.
