This is a different Louisiana Red, a strong singer and guitarist, born Cordell Boyette in Monroe, Louisiana.
Boyette began playing piano in church at age 8, gigged around New Orleans since age 24, and moved to Los Angeles in 1962, where he was influenced by the great Lowell Fulson, and worked with Fulson as well as: Tina Turner, Pee Wee Crayton, Percy Mayfield, T-Bone Walker, Johnny Guitar Watson, and Big Joe Turner.
In 1968 Red cut "Down Below Texas Blues" and "Bottom Side Up" with the legendary George "Harmonica" Smith.
Red formed his own band in 1973 (The 747 Express) and worked clubs and parties in the area. He still is a regular on the Southern California club, concert and party scene.
His original work, "You Crazy Baby" and "Dog in Me" are featured in his 1993 CD "You Crazy Baby" from Uptown Video Records of Fresno, CA.
Red's credits include: the Vredenburg Blues Estafetta (Netherlanda), the Heritage Festival (Oakland), African Market Festival, Fresno Blues Festival and clubs from coast to coast.
This is a big rarity. Covers came from an Ebay 2nd hand sale, I couldn't find this gem elsewhere.
Thanks to Marc for share it with us.
