Texas compilation T4

Duration: 2:08:41

Compilation of Texas and Louisiana music (blues, gospel, Cajun, etc) compiled by Mack McCormick, described by him thus: ‘A misscellaney [sic] of material borrowed from Chris [Strachwitz] and others, mainly to familiarize you with certain obscure artists. Portions of this tape may be regarded as a survey of the Gold Star catalog -- probably the most fascinating of all the post war labels.’
