Down Home Cajun Music- Hot Rod Records

Down Home Cajun Music- Hot Rod RecordsAfter Virgil Bozeman's failed attempt at the Opera label, and then his finances for his O.T. label dried up, he moved back to San Antonio where he started the Hot Rod label with local record man Bob Tanner. There are only 7 known records made by this label; dating from 1949-1951, including songs by artists such as Nathan Abshire and Cliff LeMaire, Ernest Thibodeau, Wilson Granger and Clifton "Tan" Benoit. This label predates Tanner's Tanner TNT label which he would go on to create releasing material by Iry Lejune and Aldus Roger. Wilson Granger- Bayou Chico Waltz (Hot Rod 101) Tan Benoit- Iowa Two Step (Hot Rod 101) Nathan Abshire- Chere Te Mon (Hot Rod 103)Cliff LeMaire- Rou Li Aie (Hot Rod 104) Ernest Thibodeaux- Jennings Two Step (Hot Rod 105)Nathan Abshire- Hathaway Two Step (Hot Rod 103)Tan Benoit- Gueydon Waltz (Hot Rod 105)Cliff LeMaire- Cow Island Special (Hot Rod 104)*All selections from the original 78 rpm records, except Hot Rod 101, which comes from Cajun Honky Tonk Vol. 2
