Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Excellent!!!.......2005-12-12

Before buying this 4-disc set, note that it is really for hard-core Cajun and Zydeco music lovers ONLY.... your average listener is not likely to enjoy these rough recordings of Louisiana French music. They're definitely rough-and-tumble.

For the avid Cajun or Zydeco fan (or collector of old blues and delta music), this collection is phenomenal, and an excellent price for the amount of music you're getting. Everyone who was anyone in Cajun music in the early part of the last century is included here, from Joe and Cleoma Breaux Falcon to the Hackberry Ramblers, from Les Freres Breaux to Nathan Abshire. Some of the songs are "hits" (Abshire's "Pine Grove Blues", for example), some are long-forgotten gems. Primarily Cajun artists are represented, but there are several cuts from Black Creoles such as Amede Ardoin as well. If you love Cajun music or Zydeco, you must get this collection, you'll be glad you did.

Now for a totally random story for your reading pleasure, track #5 on disc #2 might seem like it has a funny name. Why would a Cajun band write a waltz about Utah? Well, the Breaux brothers didn't speak much English, and when they went to Atlanta to record and the producer asked them the names of the songs, one of the songs was "La Valse d'Iota". Iota is a town in the prairie regions of Southwest Louisiana (it's also known as Tee Mamou, not to be confused with Mamou proper, aka Grand Mamou). In Cajun French, it's pronounced "ee-oh-TAH". The English speaking record producer thought they said Utah. Oops. It's a fantastic cut, though, as are all of the songs on this collection.
