BIG SAMBO & THE HOUSEWRECKERS - THE RAINS CAME


As part of the Texas gulf coast scene that also spawned greats like Barbara Lynn, Dale & Grace, and Joe Barry, this early Huey P. Meaux production perfectly captures the kind of up-close slow dancing vibe that makes this "swamp pop" era so intriguing. Taking the emotions of doo wop and mating it with N'awlins rhythm is a mighty fine thing indeed. This track was later covered by Sir Douglas Quintet with Meaux once again behind the controls.

from 1961...

Please reup this, and its B-side if possible. Big Sambo and the House Wreckers were from Beaumont, and their work is nearly impossible to find. I enjoy your blog immensely. Thanks.
