RUSTY AND DOUG KERSHAW WERE HUGE IN THE COUNTRY & CAJUN GENRE THROUGH THE LATE 1950s INTO THE EARLY 1960s WHEN RUSTY QUIT THE BAND AT WHICH TIME DOUG WENT SOLO. THEIR MUSIC TRANSCENDED THE ENTIRE COUNTRY GENRE RANGING FROM HILLBILLY, CAJUN, COUNTRY BALLADS AND BRIEFLY TOUCHING ON ROCKABILLY AT WHICH POINT THEY WERE DUBBED “THE CAJUN COUNTRY ROCKERS”. THEIR BIGGEST CLAIM TO FAME WAS THEIR VERSION OF “LOUISIANA MAN”. THIS SET FEATURES 25 OF DOUG KERSHAW’S SOLO RECORDINGS (OCCASIONALLY JOINED BY RUSTY) ON DISC ONE, MANY OF WHICH NEVER SAW THE LIGHT OF DAY AND IN SOME INSTANCES YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY. THE RECORDINGS SIMPLY DID NOT PRESENT THE VITALITY OF THE TWO BROTHERS TOGETHER. HAVING SAID THAT, THERE ARE SOME NICE TOE-TAPPERS ON DISC 1. DISC TWO FEATURES 27 DEMO TRACKS (OF WHICH RUSTY JOINS DOUG ON SEVERAL) MANY OF WHICH ARE RATHER LACKING IN DURATION AND MOST PROBABLY WERE ONLY IDEAS. HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE A RUSTY AND DOUG KERSHAW FAN LIKE MYSELF THERE IS PLENTY HERE TO WHET THE APPETITE. THE SET IS PRESENTED IN A BI-FOLD DIGI-PAK. HISTORICAL****
