Bayou Bluegrass

Jim Smoak and the Louisiana Honeydrippers
Bayou Bluegrass The words “bayou” and “bluegrass” don’t often appear in the same sentence. Nevertheless, in 1961, music ethnologist Harry Oster asked banjoist/singer Jim Smoak to form a bluegrass band in Louisiana. The venture resulted in a recording of 21 songs played in a bluegrass style. The complete original recording session was issued by Arhoolie in 2002.
