2001 Ace Records compilation.
The Goldband label of Lake Charles, Louisiana, is probably best known for its catalogue of cajun music but, as Goin' Down To Louisiana proves, it also paid attention to the local down-home blues scene in the 1950s and 60s. Performers like Ashton Savoy and Big Chenier may never have made it out of that local scene but they produced a few distinctive recordings like Savoy's "Need Shorter Hours", a drawling, Jimmy Reed-like complaint about the rigours of the working week, and Chenier's rough-hewn "The Dog And His Puppies".
