Billy Cannon threw me off because he was not born in Baton Rouge (or even Louisiana)

Where exactly is Lobdell LA? A cursory Google search is unclear
Slim Harpo
Born January 11, 1924 Lobdell, Louisiana, United States
Died January 31, 1970 (aged 46)
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States
"Raining in my Heart"
"Got Love If You Want It"

She was born in Dallas, but if she lived in BR as a kid for quite some time, we have a winner.
I couldn't find anything.
