Nathan Abshire, Cleoma Breaux Falcon, J B Fuselier, Breaux Freres Brothers, Balfa Freres Brothers, Dewey Balfa, Happy Fats Leroy Le Blanc, Peter London (Good 'ol Boy Pete, not the Swedish Rockstar!) Reggie's Channel from Walton on Thames.
These guys had one shot at recording, just one, no mixers, synthesizers or studio tricks, and they got it spot on most every time and when they played live, it was live, no boxes of tricks or synthesized voice!
Real musicians such as Leroy Le Blanc, that could sing, not pretty folk with mass media and the studio gizmos behind them. Many are the true originators of modern sounds, (not those held up for PC reasons, many even having the gall to claim false authorship). Cleoma Falcon should be an icon today for her amazing voice, originality, humble background and least of all, for us, her terrible tragedy. She does not fit the Liberal bill and never laid false claim on traditional tunes, as some very suspect PC 'icons' do. Leadbelly etc..
