Balfa Brothers - Balfa Brothers Play Traditional Cajun Music
Some projects take on a happy life of their own, and this is one of them. In the summer I was approached to supervise the revamp of the old Balfa Brothers’ 2 LPs-on-1 CD, released in the early days of CD production in 1990. Specifically, I was asked if Louisiana musician and author Ann Savoy would be available to write a new essay.

If she was able to take on the task, she would be the perfect choice. After all, she had known and played with the Balfas and had written up their story in her acclaimed book, Cajun Music: A Reflection of a People. Yet I knew she was embarking on a UK tour as a member of the Savoy Family Band, with husband Marc and sons Joel and Wilson. Would she have the time? Not only did she accept the commission with charm and alacrity, but she met her deadline with ease.

Now even more light is shed on the Balfas’ fascinating story, as fully documented in the booklet (with great photos, label shots, LP reproductions and Cajun French-English lyric translations). The mastering, of course, has also been updated and upgraded.

What made the original LPs so important is that they marked a return in the 1960s and 1970s to traditional Cajun music, which had been left behind by the Cajun honky-tonk sound, itself on life support. The back story here is that leader and virtuoso fiddler Dewey Balfa convinced Swallow Records boss, Floyd Soileau, to record the brothers when Floyd was reminded that Dewey had recorded an in-demand but long unavailable Cajun song, ‘La Valse De Bon Baurche’, for Khoury’s Records way back in 1951. It came out on Swallow in 1965 as ‘Drunkard’s Sorrow Waltz’, the Balfas’ first single.

The 1965 and 1974 Swallow albums ensued and are presented here with two rare 45s from 1977 and 1980. The latter single features all-time-great accordion player Nathan Abshire, with whom Dewey recorded and played for many years.

How did Ann Savoy first encounter Dewey? And what are her thoughts on the Swallow LPs? Let her explain: “I met Dewey Balfa before I heard his music. He came into Savoy Music Center [outside Eunice] looking very French and elegant in a fedora and black sunglasses. He was just stopping by for a cup of coffee and a visit but I was so impressed by him, his beautiful French, his character. He and Marc were close friends and so we often cooked suppers together and played music in the yards of our houses.

“I heard his LPs later and immediately fell in love with them. After spending many evenings in Cajun honky-tonks the acoustic feeling of the Balfa Brothers music was refreshing. In these recordings without amplification I could hear the natural resonance of the instruments and the subtleties in the vocals. They also played songs not heard in the dance halls: haunting, sad songs. These LPs were jewels, and I was very touched by them.

“I travelled all over the United States and France with Dewey and Rodney when Marc was playing accordion and twin fiddle with them. These were exhilarating times; great fun and full of camaraderie. And of course the music was brilliant. We also went through tragedies with Dewey: the deaths of brothers Rodney and Will, and Dewey’s wife Hilda. But he always bounced back, full of energy and fun until his own illness at the end of his life.

“It is amazing to see these great LPs reissued on Ace Records in England. This music is so timeless, and bringing it out again on CDs makes it available to a whole new generation of Cajun fans and musicians. The Balfa Brothers’ music will never grow old because it is classic quality, speaking stories that resonate with all people as long as there are humans on the earth.”

I think you can understand what I mean about this being a special project.

Bobby Lord - Everybody's Rockin' But Me
1-CD DigiPac (4-plated) with 36-page booklet, 24 tracks, playing time 57:48. -- A forgotten star finally gets his due! Bobby Lord didn't score many hits, but he was a TV star on the Ozark Jubilee and on Nashville's Opry station, WSM. His 'No More! No More! No More!' is an early psychobilly classic! Includes rare photos and unissued recordings! -- The first ever CD of Bobby Lord's vintage recordings is way overdue! Now Bear Family has carefully selected his finest proto-rockabilly, upbeat country and pop recordings for Columbia from 1954-1960. The collection also features three previously unissued numbers from 1956 and '60, plus the complete January, 1956 session (two days after Elvis recorded 'Heartbreak Hotel') that produced 'Beautiful Baby' and Lord's blazing cover of Johnny Cash's hit 'So Doggone Lonesome'. Elvis's bassist and drummer stayed around to work the session. Also featured is the original recording of 'Boudleaux Bryant's Hawk-Eye', later a chart single for Frankie Laine! The star sidemen include Chet Atkins, Hank Garland, Harold Bradley, Grady Martin, and two of Hank Williams's Drifting Cowboys. -- By the 1970s, Lord had scaled back his musical career to become a successful Florida developer and businessman. He also hosted the Nashville Network's 'Country Sportsman' (later renamed 'Celebrity Outdoors') from 1983-1989. Bobby Lord's death in 2008 at age 74 closed a career that spanned music, TV and business.

Brenda Lee - Queen Of Rock'n'Roll
Here are the tougher rock’n’roll recordings Brenda Lee made at the start of her career before she fully embraced the smooth certainties of the pop market. Comprising early singles and a few choice LP tracks, it is a stand-alone release designed to wrap up all her early rockers and serve as a companion volume to Ace’s existing programme of Brenda Lee album reissues.

Even at the height of her ballad phase, Brenda demonstrated that she had never entirely left her rock roots behind by placing rockers on the on the B-sides of her singles. These up-tempo offerings frequently became hits too – tunes such ‘Just A Little’, ‘Anybody But Me’ and ‘That’s All You Gotta Do’, all heard here, are typical examples. Also included is her breakthrough hit, ‘Sweet Nothin’s’ , the perennial ‘Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree’, the all-time classic, ‘Let’s Jump The Broomstick’ and early boppers such as ‘Dynamite (the 1957 version not the later re-cut), ‘Rock The Bop’ and Jambalaya’ which display a feisty attack for one so young – she was a mere 13 years-old at the time.

Some of Lee’s biggest American ballads were less successful in Britain where she was better known for her up-tempo material. In 1961, Brunswick, the label representing US Decca in the UK decided to re-promote an earlier release, ‘Let’s Jump The Broomstick’, in response to an underlying demand. The revived 45 reached #12 helping to keep Brenda’s name in the limelight here. Similarly, ‘Here Comes That Feeling’ (relegated to a B-side in the States) reached the Top 10 in Britain while barely making a ripple back home.

By the time the British Invasion had swept the States in 1964, Brenda’s recording profile had strayed just a little too far into AOR territory and she was keen to reassert her pre-eminence in the fast-changing teen market. British promoter Don Arden put her in touch with hotshot young British producer Mickie Most who’d taken the Animals to the top with ‘House Of The Rising Sun’. It was the first time she’d recorded outside Nashville since 1957. The result was the scorching double-sider, ‘Is It True’ c/w ‘What’d I Say’ featuring Jimmy Page and powerhouse drummer Bobby Graham.

In the States, ‘Is It True’ came out with a different flip, ‘Just Behind The Rainbow’, so American fans never got to hear ‘What’d I Say’. Cut in a single take, ‘What’d I Say’ appears here on CD for the first time and makes a tremendous closer to this engaging set by the Queen of Rock’n’Roll’, complemented, as always, by an attractive booklet brimming with rare ads and period pics.

Brother Claude Ely - Satan, Get Back!
The restless white gospel of Brother Claude caught live in the early 50s by King Records. Thank the Lord!

Brother Claude Ely was a hot Southern preacher who recorded for King Records in 1953, '54 and '62. No words, notes sleevewriter Tony Russell, adequately describe "the extraordinary power and fervour of Brother Claude Ely". Accompanied by The Cumberland Five and The Cumberland Four, unknown mandolin, guitar and occasionally steel guitar, bass and drums, Satan, Get Back! is country gospel at its most powerful (Ace Records).
