R&B/Blues/Soul legend and mainly unknown to many apart from ardent collectors,Joe Medwick was born in Houston Texas in 1933 & passed in 1992.He started working around the bars in Houston to get himself known and enhance his reputation as a top performer. He became involved with Don Robey and his Duke label but rather than me harp on more interesting info can be read Here. This now deleted album concentrates on his Soul Output and contains many of his rare Northern Dancers.Yet again another great talent that missed the boat to stardom.His 45,s (less than 20) are very sought after and command some silly prices. More to come from him in the future. A truly wonderful singer of soul across the board! What i enjoy is getting your requests that jog my memory, as my collection is so silly now i,m forgetting what the hell i have.

Looks good , thanks for the review AMM .
Do you have any idea how long it took me to realize "Crazy Cajun" was a record label, and that "Crazy Cajun Recordings" wasn't a descriptive term for music on such compilations?

Thanks for steering me to the write on Joe i found it very interesting a man with many tools i suppose at the time money was tight so took the money and ran i am sure a lot of these guys did the same as a local devil/shyster would be hanging a round waiting to make a big buck Thanks AMM
