Mardi Gras Creep / Mouth of Harahan 45 single
Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
The A side, a tune about how-not-to-behave at Mardi Gras, has finally made it back onto wax thanks to the 2022 rebirth of Houma Records, a small Louisiana "Swamp Pop" label which was active from the 1960s through the 1980s. The label originally released "Mardi Gras Creep" in the 80s as a B side to "Weld This Broken Heart (Roughneck Blues)", another Bobby M.G. original.
There is still not much known about Bobby M.G. (the "M.G." stands for Mardi Gras) other than the fact that he originally hails from Joplin Missouri and lived in Houma for about 10 years working in the oil industry. It was there that he met his future wife Bobbie and started performing with her under this band name. Houma Records original owner, Anthony "Rod" Rodrigue discovered the group performing at the wedding of a mutual friend. The Houma Record label is now run by Rodrigue's son Anthony "AJ" Rodrigue. The town of Houma, where the label began and still remains, was named for the Native American tribe who originally populated that region of Southeast Louisiana.
Each single is numbered and hand-stamped with the new Houma Records logo.
The B side, "The Mouth of Harahan" is Quintron's ode to the life of fellow New Orleans rocker, King Louie Bankston who passed away on February 13th, 2022.

Showed the live version of "notha thang" to my mom and she wasn't too happy about it. I could tell that by the way she had a vacant look on her face. BPad
