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.

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