Down Home Cajun Music- Doc Guidry

On this episode of the podcast, we focus on the recordings of Oran "Doc Guidry". Born in Lafayette, he started his career with Happy Fats. In 1939 he formed the Sons of Acadians and recorded for Decca. But Doc recorded with everybody, it  would impossible to provide all the records he played on.
He recorded with Happy again in 1948, had a off session with Jimmie Davis's band in 1953 for Decca again. In 1961 he recorded again with Happy on La Louisianne. In 1966 he had a solo album on La Louisianne with a all-star band backing him, called "King of the Cajun Fiddlers"; titled rightly so. Long live the music and legacy of Doc Guidry.
