"Lake Charles Or Bust": The Goldband Records WEEKEND MIX


 

I narrowed it down from 300 songs to 30. There could always be a Volume Two down the line.

This mix covers rockabilly, doo-wop, Cajun, swamp pop, garage rock, R&B, country, bluegrass and blues, as well as Dolly Parton's very first single, recorded when she was 13. Every track a winner in my book, for one reason or another.

Enjoy!

I'd be hard-pressed to think of another of your mixes that I've more looked forward to. Thanks!

Clarence Garlow is one of those guys that was just so criminally overlooked.

Looks amazing, but, y'all, Lake Chuck is r o u g h....I'll stop at Lafayette, with quick hits up to Opelousas or down to New Iberia or Morgan City. Def stop before you go over into Lapland (Beaumont, Orange, Port Arthur).

Thanks, Sal!

Lake Chuck was rough before the last hurricane. Last time I was there was about 6 years ago, and it was 3rd worldish.

All unfamiliar names except. . . Dolly Parton? How'd she get in here? (Though she's welcome anywhere, right?) High hopes for this mix. Thanks.
