Early Cajun Music: "Pine Grove Blues" - Nathan Abshire
Nathan Abshire had a brief recording stint with Happy Fats before he entered WWII training. However, he would make a much stronger impression on the Cajun music scene after the war, creating his signature song in the process. In May of 1949, Virgel gathered them in KPLC studio to cut 8 tracks, the first of which was the legendary "Pine Grove Blues" for the O.T. label (#102).
