Synopsis

Album Description
2008 collection from the foremost Cajun fiddler of his generation. He not only excelled in the old timey tradition he was raised in, but was a hit artist in the Jazz influenced Western Swing field. He certainly prefigured what was to become Rockabilly, though his subjects were perhaps too regional and ethnic for a mainstream breakthrough into the nascent Rock 'N' Roll, Link Davis turned out some of the most rockin' sides in all Country Music! Hit after hit, and lucrative featured session work, followed, right through until his death. Here are no less then 30 of the craziest sides by this classic artist, blending R&B, Country, and the eerie edge of his own Cajun heritage into a unique and rockin' blend. Gumbo Ya Ya indeed! Rev-Ola.
