Doug Kershaw/Mama Kershaw's Boy

Personnel: Doug Kershaw (vocals, fiddle); Bobby Thompson (guitar, banjo); Max Paul Schwennsen (guitar, background vocals); Harold Bradley, Tommy Allsup, Billy Sanford (guitar); Stu Bastore (steel guitar); Sheldon Kurland, Byron Bach, Brenton Banks, Gary VanOsdale (strings); Bobby Wood (piano); Larrie Londin, Buddy Harman (drums); Sonny Throckmorton, Bobby Harden (background vocals).This twofer collects a pair of the Louisiana singer-songwriter and fiddler Doug Kershaw's best early-1970s albums. DOUG KERSHAW is a low-key acoustic affair, though songs like the outgoing "Play Fiddle Play" and the swamp-rock "Mama Said Yeah" both carry Kershaw's inimitable extrovert stamp. Released in 1974, MAMA KERSHAW'S BOY is more down-home, with tracks like "Swamp Dance" and "Cajun Grass" sharing an irresistible fiddle-and-accordion swing with the singalong "Mama's Got the Know How" and "Hippy Ti Yo."
