Rhythm & Blues in New Orleans CD

Tommy Ridgely was born, raised and died in New Orleans, and was a consistently popular entertainer in the city and its environs without ever achieving a major hit.
It was at the city's premier R&B venue, the legendary Dew Drop Inn, where he made his lasting impression and established his band The Untouchables as the most famous house band in the club's history.
Many of these 30 tracks including songs like Lavinia were major chart hits in New Orleans and Louisiana.
The titles selected here cover his recordings between 1949 and 1962.
Accompanying booklet includes fully detailed liner notes.
