A big influence on hillbilly boogie, rockabilly, and ultimately, guitarists in general who came after, he even had a go at some rock 'n roll in the 50s. But he was Fais Do-Do in origin and took in whatever he heard and made it sound Louisiana. This one is just a mix of everything, including both Cajun and English Lyrics. A bit odd.
I don't do 78s, but I can apply the correct RIAA curve, if I could. ;)

Definite boogie-woogie roots, but this is rock & roll.
Thanks, Aggie!
