A 24 track collection of songs from the man famous for the hit "Mother-In-Law", an American pop and R&B number one in 1961.
The collection contains recordings he made for the New Orleans Minit label between 1959 and 1962 including those on his first, and only, LP during that time along with two bonus tracks from 1955 and 1959 respectively that he made for the Specialty and Ember labels.
Along with "Mother-In-Law", the CD includes American follow-up hits, "Te-Ta-Te-Ta-Ta", "I Cried My Last Tear", "A Certain Girl" and "Popeye Joe", all imbued with that unmistakable New Orleans sound.
The accompanying booklet includes the story of Ernie K-Doe's career before, during and after his time on the charts and includes label scans and other memorabilia.
This release is the first time in many years that Ernie K-Doe's work has been compiled on CD.
