Various Artists - Color Me Soul - The Crazy Cajun Recordings - Volume 1 (2023) Digital (HQ MP3 129MB)

Back in 1963, a string of hit records broke out of Houston and put Music Enterprises Inc., Crazy Cajun Records, Tribe Records, and Crazy Cajun Music publishing companies on the map, along with independent producer and promoter Huey P. Meaux. Sixty years later, the songs Meaux helped bring to ears around the world remain as fresh and exciting as when they were recorded, ripe for the picking when soulful music is called for. What Huey P. Meaux lacked in technical skills was made up by his ability to unearth talented music people of colour, hear a voice that could sing in what he called “The Heartbreak Key,” and recognize songwriters who knew how to tell a story. His father Pappy (Te-Tan) Meaux played Cajun accordion and sang in French. As a barber in Winnie, Texas in the southeast corner of the state, Meaux developed an ear for what was popular. He learned the record business as a Port Arthur radio disc jockey, and hosted a teen music show on Port Arthur television.  This digital compilation is celebrating 60 Years of Great Songs in 2023. Hopefully more volumes to come!
