It Might Not Be The Cajun Way, But For Nashville Product, C'est Bon!.......2006-04-25

Growing up I saw so many copies of this album that I figured it was loaded with hit singles. I was wrong. In fact, this LP never charted!
This was the first LP of Doug's I ever heard. So for me, the versions of "Diggy Diggy Lo" and "Louisiana Man" are the definitive reneditions. There's not a clunker here at all. Doug plays fiddle and his 12-string dobro (why did he ever do away with that instrument?) and Charlie McCoy provides harmonica. Who are the other musicians? Who knows! Despite the anonymity of all involved, and as much as a product off of the Music Row Assembly Line as it may be, Doug's best performances are found in these grooves. His best songs are here. Look at "You Fight Your Fight" or "Papa Died Old" - about his father's suicide (a recurring theme Doug would visit in his early solo tracks), Doug doesn't do this kind of stuff anymore, and probably hasn't since he recorded this record. There's also "Mama and Papa Had Love", and the goofy "Feed It To The Fish", Doug semi-flowing, occasionally-broken phrasing on "If We Don't Stop Rushing" gives you the idea he's trying to get a mood across, and he succeeds on "When I'm Fully Grown", a blues number (!) "Sweet Jolie Blon" was Doug's first faux-Cajun number on record, but its not as embarrasingly bad as, say "Mon Chapeau" from "Ragin' Cajun", or "Porquois M'Aimes Tu-Pas" from "Louisiana Man". "Bayou Teche" is a nice mover, and "Come Kiss Your Man" is a serious solid mood piece, with Memphis style backing, and Doug's double-tracked backing vocal. "Rita Put Your Black Shoes On" completes the family story arc in the album.
With "The Cajun Way" Doug introduced us to his music, and his family. A high quality record, but a 200% quality increase would present itself in his next album, "Spanish Moss".

Doug Kershaw at his finest!.......2005-05-27

I have been a Doug Kershaw fan since I was a toddler and this is my absolute favorite album of Doug's. You can't stay still while listening - it is so upbeat and energizing. I'm not a country music fan or even a Cajun Music fan, but I am certainly a Doug Kershaw fan!

A great debut by Jimmie Dale Gilmore's son.......2004-07-23

An impressive debut by Colin (son of Jimmie Dale) Gilmore, who busts out of Texas with a perky mix of ebullient indie rock and real, rootsy twang. Sir Douglas himself woulda been proud. There's a nice set of original tunes, and some cool covers (Terry Allen's "The Beautiful Waitress" and the classic Clash song, "White Man In Hammersmith Palais," played pretty much straight, as heard in the '77 original...) There is a noticeable vocal similarity between father and son, but not so much so that it overshadows Colin in any way. Indeed, he's very much his own artist, and with a catchy first album like this, I'm hoping we'll hear plenty more from him... very, very soon.
