Clarence GARLOW – In A Boogie Mood, 1949-1956
£8.99 inc. VAT
Singer/multi-instrumentalist CLARENCE GARLOW (he played guitar, accordion and fiddle) is best known for his 1950 R&B Top 10 hit ‘Bon Ton Roula’, recorded for the Houston-based Macy’s label.
A disc once described as ‘The Rhythm & Blues-laced Zydeco song which introduced the Louisiana music form to a national audience’, it has also been widely recorded as ‘Let The Good Times Roll’, a loose translation of its Cajun-French song title.
Although Garlow never registered another national hit, he was a huge star throughout Texas and Louisiana throughout his career, and his subsequent releases on labels like Feature, Aladdin, Goldband, Flair and Folk-Star – all included herein – were significant regional successes.
