Includes the version of 'Big Mamou' that became a country-Cajun standard. Comes with four unissued OKeh sides, and two alternate takes from Starday masters. Contains a newly researched biography of Link Davis by Andrew Brown, with rare unpublished photos from the Davis family. - Link Davis began in the Fifties as a forward-looking white R&B singer and saxophonist, recording a storming version of 'Good Rockin' Tonight' five years before Elvis Presley's supposedly ground-breaking attempt at the same song. Davis then morphed into a Cajun fiddler, scoring a big regional hit with the ancient-sounding waltz 'Big Mamou', which helped introduce America to Cajun music. By mid-decade, when rock 'n' roll came along and forced most of his country music friends into early retirement, Link instead re-emerged as a born-again rocker, cutting some of his most memorable records.
