Known worldwide as one of the most important figures in Cajun music, a renowned multi-instrumentalist, master of the fiddle and accordion, distinctive vocalist, and a highly prolific songwriter, Doug Kershaw has spent most of his career mining the rich musical traditions of his home state of Louisiana, from zydeco to Creole-influence country and folk. Now he looks back on his own illustrious career, all the way back to his days performing as a duo with his brother Rusty in the 1950s, though the early years of his budding solo career, and digs up a stunning collection of more than 50 vintage studio recordings and demos. These never-before-released gems will be available to music fans worldwide on February 5 as Anthology – Rare Masters 1958-1969, a superb 2CD set courtesy of Goldenlane Records. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a>This treasure trove of an album is split between full band demos (comprising Disc 1) and guitar demos (comprising Disc 2), both showcasing not only an amazing vocal and musical dexterity but also a stunning, frequently moving songwriting talent. Often built around a clever, affecting turn of phrase (see \u201cShake Hands & Come Out Crying,\u201d \u201cI Wish I Had Died As A Baby,\u201d or \u201cIt Takes All Day To Get Over Night\u201d), Kershaw\u2019s music may have roots in a specific region but his lyrics speak to the most universal themes of love, family, and good ol\u2019 fashioned human misery. Kershaw\u2019s own enthusiasm for the songs contained herein has not been diminished at all by the passing years. \u201cI am so proud of this compilation,\u201d Kershaw declares, \u201cIt\u2019s like exposing my life to the world. I am who I am because you the people allowed me to be!\u201d With an endorsement like that, no self-respecting Kershaw fan will be able to pass this one up!<\/div>\n
