Meaux Sound Memories Records

-

Huey P. Meaux, known as the "Crazy Cajun," was a pivotal figure in the Gulf Coast music scene, particularly throughout the 1960s and 70s. He championed the sounds of Texas and Louisiana, fusing genres like R&B, swamp pop, rock and roll, and country to create a distinctive sound that celebrated regional styles. His label, Meaux Sound Memories, was a testament to this blend, giving voice to artists who would become staples in Southern music.

Under Meaux's direction, Meaux Sound Memories released several unique and soulful tracks, including "Please Come Home for Christmas" by Johnny and Edgar Winter and "Santa! Don't Pass Me By" by Jimmy Donley. The Winter brothers’ track is a blues-infused Christmas plea, showcasing the raw vocal and instrumental talents of the legendary duo. Donley's "Santa! Don't Pass Me By" carries a heartfelt urgency, blending soulful vocals with a classic R&B vibe that fit perfectly into Meaux's label aesthetic. Both releases reflect Meaux's ability to capture the emotional depth and diversity of Gulf Coast musicians, making Meaux Sound Memories a notable piece of Southern music history.
