Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown 1974 - Down South In The Bayou Country (2006 Expanded Reissue) [mp3@320]  Clarence ''Gatemouth'' Brown  Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown at the Long Beach Blues Festival 1996 Wikipedia: Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown (April 18, 1924 - September 10, 2005) was an American musician from Louisiana and Texas. He is best known for his work as a blues musician, but embraced other styles of music, having "spent his career fighting purism by synthesizing old blues, country, jazz, Cajun music and R&B styles". His work also encompasses rock and roll, rock music, folk, electric blues, and Texas blues. He was an acclaimed multi-instrumentalist, who played an array of musical instruments such as guitar, fiddle, mandolin, viola as well as harmonica and drums. He won a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album in 1983 for his album, Alright Again!. He is regarded as one of the most influential exponents of blues fiddle and has had enormous influence in American fiddle circles. Brown's two biggest musical influences were Louis Jordan and T-Bone Walker. Down South In The Bayou Country (2006 Expanded Reissue)  Artist: Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown Title: Down South In The Bayou Country Format: CD, Album, Expanded Reissue, Digipak Release Date: July 18, 2006 Original Release Date: 1974 Label: Maison de Blues, Universal Catalog: 983 211-2 ASIN: B000G1R4A2 Genre: Texas Blues, Electric Texas Blues, Swamp Blues Duration: 48:49 AllMusic Review by Arwulf Arwulf: Like everything on Memphis Slim's album Goin' Back to Tennessee or Alvin Youngblood Hart's "Tallacatcha" (a Western swing performance worthy of Bob Wills), Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown's 1975 Barclay album Down South in the Bayou Country completely transcends any and all attempts to confine this diverse artist within the artificial parameters of blues or any other preordained category. Consisting mostly of songs written by Hoyt Garrick, Jr., Charles Gressett, and David Craig with additional tunes by J. Loyd and Joe Stampley, this pretty parfait of country & western, Southern rock, cowboy hoedown, and electric Cajun soul music was recorded during February and March 1974 in Bogalusa, LA. Gatemouth, fresh from his tenure as Deputy Sheriff of San Juan County, NM, sounds particularly pleased to be active at the center of a project so completely infused with authentic Southern sensibilities. Perhaps the most satisfying track off of the original album is "Loup Garou." This hoodoo funk ritual with background vocals by Geraldine "Sister Gerry" Richard sounds as if it might have been influenced by Dr. John's "Loop Garoo," which had appeared on that artist's Atco album Remedies in 1970. Both songs drew upon traditional Louisiana lycanthropic folklore, a tradition that advises against wandering around in the swamp under the moon as you just might get taken out by a werewolf. Bonus tracks include a choice sampling of "studio verbiage and other appropriate banter," "Gate's Express" (a ferocious bit of fiddling based on "Orange Blossom Special"), and "Cassoulet," a very danceable Cajun fiddling boogie recorded in Paris during the summer of 1973 with a rhythm section composed of members of the rock group Canned Heat. Anyone who enjoys Down South in the Bayou Country should also investigate Gatemouth's 1975 follow-up album, Bogalusa Boogie Man. Bear Family Records Review by Bill Dahl: Clarence ''Gatemouth'' Brown: Down South In The Bayou Country With this album he shocked many of his hard-core blues fans. Gatemouth performs Louisiana style country music and doesn't even play guitar. The man best-known for his innovative jump blues style in a country music setting. Another great example of 'white' music performed by a black artist. Includes booklet.  01. Breaux Bridge Rag [2:59] 02. Folks Back Home [3:23] 03. Bayou Sam [2:29] 04. Loup Garou [3:22] 05.
