Down Home Cajun Music- Harry Choates


Listen Later

"Pappy" purchased Harry Choate's masters from Goldstar in 1955. He began re-releasing Harry's Goldstar recordings on the his Starday and D labels afterwards. Some of these were leftovers from the Goldstar sessions and others were old titles that had been renamed. By 1950 Harry's Melody Boys had broken up and he soon started recording for Macy's with a new set of musicians. The last track is from 1951, from what was Harry's last session for Bob Tanner's Allied label. He would pass away on July 17th of 1951.
