  • Edition #7B (May 2021)
    EDITION #7B (MAY 2021) Cover design by Bob McGrath 0 CAJUN RECORDS 1946-1989 – A DISCOGRAPHY © Nick Leigh 2020 INTRODUCTION TO THE REVISED EDITIONS I began collecting blues records in 1959 but it was another 7 years before I heard Cleveland Crochet & the Sugar Bees on the Storyville anthology “Louisiana Blues”. My appetite whetted, I wanted more. Buying the Iry Le Jeune LPs on Goldband a few months later (not one but two volumes – and purchased as imports on a student’s allowance!) fuelled an appreciation of Cajun music that has remained undiminished. In the mid 1960s, however, there was little information available about the great music I was listening to, other than the catalogues I obtained from Goldband and Swallow, and the early articles by Mike Leadbitter and John Broven in “Blues Unlimited” and “Jazz Journal”. Thanks to people like Mike, John, Neil Slaven, Rob Ford and Les Fancourt there is now a lot of information available to provide the background to blues and rhythm & blues recordings. However much of the information about the post World War 2 music of South Louisiana in general and the French (Cajun) recordings in particular, remains elusive. So far as I know no single ‘discography’ of post-war Cajun record releases has been published and I thought I would try to correct this oversight. This is notwithstanding the increasing amount of well researched material about the music in general and individual artists. Therefore I take only limited credit for the information included herein about the recordings. My aim has been to bring that material together in a single document.

  • “Doug” Kershaw Was Born January 24, 1936, in Tiel Ridge, a Tiny Island Off the Gulf Coast, and Moved to Lake Authur, Louisiana
    Douglas “Doug” Kershaw “Doug” Kershaw was born January 24, 1936, in Tiel Ridge, a tiny island off the Gulf Coast, and moved to Lake Authur, Louisiana. In Lake Arthur Doug learned English at school and accumulated pocket money by shining shoes and paying fiddle on street corners. At age eight he accompanied his guitar playing mother at a local club, Bucket of Blood. In 1947 Doug moved to Jennings, Louisiana, and five years later he formed his first band, The Continental Playboys, with his brothers, Pee Wee and Rusty. When Doug was about fifteen he and his brothers had a Cajun French band with an accordion, guitar and fiddle while they were going to school. In 1953 they broadcasted over radio KPLC Lake Charles, Louisiana. The next step was to cut a record in English. Doug wrote the song, “When Will I Learn,” and at J.D. Miller's recording studio in Crowley, Louisiana, recorded the song as Douglas Kershaw with the Bewley Gang and it was released over the counter. Later Doug, with Rusty harmonizing, wrote, “No, No It's Not So,” and it was recorded at Mr. Miller's recording studio. This led them to Acuff-Rose and Hickory Records in Nashville, Tennessee. Doug being 18 and Rusty 16 were called Rusty and Doug. Their first record, “So Lovely Baby,” also written by Doug, started Doug's writing and singing career. Being self-taught, Doug mastered over 20 instruments and composed hundreds of songs having recorded nearly 500. In 1955 the duo was on the Louisiana Hayride and in 1957 they had an invitation to join the Grand Ole Opry.
