Louis Armstrong Goes Country



Louis Armstrong - Miller's Cave

Believe it or not, Louis Armstrong really did go country. It happened with the 1970 release of an LP named Louis "Country & Western" Armstrong and from what I can tell from this 45, the experiment produced very enjoyable results. Here's his take on Miller's Cave, a tale of infidelity and retribution that was a huge hit for Hank Snow in 1960.

His C&W lasted about as long as Ray Charles C&W.

Louis dabbled in country in 1930 with Jimmie Rodgers: Blue Yodel #9. Never heard this though!
