Singles Going Around- Blues Out Of Crowley
J.D. Miller first began recording Cajun music on his Fais Do-Do and Feature labels in the late 1940's, but when Rock and Roll came along in 1955;
he changed direction. He then opened his studio to local blues acts. The blues music he recorded had a certain hypnotic sound that became known as Swamp Blues..
His contacts led him to a deal with Excello Records where he recorded a host of local musicians. This week's episode features many of the great Blues artists
that J.D. recorded in his studio in Crowley.
