Leroux Roux.......2003-12-29

Leroux is the best band of all time. I saw them personally at City Stages in Bham,AL this year and they rocked my entire face off. I think they are the most underrated band of all time. I say they should go on a reunion tour. If they hadn't broken up they could have gone down in history as the greatest band of he universe.

The Most Exciting Music You Will Ever Hear.......2003-01-30

As a music fan with hundreds of CD from a wide range of artists, I must admit that this is my favorite album of all time, one that I never tire of playing. It's the kind of music that gets better each time you hear it. This prolific group is perhaps the most underated band ever to record on a major label. As they toured hard, dancing outside of superstardom in the late 70's and early 80's, they wrote, produced, and recorded an incredible catalog of music that ran the gamut from cajun rock, to pop, to soaring power metal/wall of sound ballads - all of it full of intelligent lyrics, melodic bass lines, crisp guitar licks, and some of the best three part harmonies ever put to tape. The musicianship is unmatched. Although Capitol and RCA have been reluctant to re-release the four original gems that are collecting dust in their vaults, you can relive the excitement with this collection, which has excellent production values, thanks to the quality of the original recordings, and Razor & Tie's great digital transfer. Further collections are available at laleroux.com. Regardless of your tastes in music, I think you will be impressed, if not amazed.

Always a Bridesmaid.......2002-06-25

LeRoux was and still is an excellent band. Over the past few years, almost all of their individual albums have also been released on CD. (You just have to work a bit to find them...small releases on small labels. The last unreleased on CD album, "Keep The Fire Burnin'" arrives on CD for the first time in July 2002!) For all but the most ardent fans, like myself, this compilation is the best. It's an excellent sampler of a band that spent years supporting a number of major touring acts, but never seemed to ascend to the limelight themselves. In my humble opinion, the only glaring omission from this collection is "Mystery" from the 1980 album "Up", but beyond that this is an excellent and very representative collection.

Not all of their best...but close.......2000-02-22

For those of us in the South who loved their music, this collection simply teases us. It is too bad the origional 2 albums are not available on CD, because they were fabulous! Too bad LP's don't last forever, since mine are over 20 years old, and they sound like it. For those who love this band, this is all that is left, and this CD was wonderful. For those who remember the origional LP's, this collection falls short of representing a fabulous band with incomparable talent. We miss you Jeff Pollard.

Le Roux lives on.......1998-07-24

These songs are still being played in New Orleans, La in clubs. After all these years New Orleans Lady is still requested at the famous Pat O'Briens Piano Bar on Burbon Street. All around south Louisiana you can hear the sweet sounds on LeRoux.

The Very Best of Doug Kershaw Live.......2007-03-11

Lively Cajun music which sets your feet to moving. Songs being sung in both Cajun-French and English provides an excellent flavor to South Louisiana music. This CD is worth the money if you want the pure Cajun style music.

Customer Reviews:

If this doesn't make you dance, you're dead........2006-03-08

As far as I can remember, I can vividly recall seeing those blue Swallow records spinning on the turntable and hearing the words, "Heyyyyyyyy Negreeeeeeeeessee!" being shouted out by the singer. This isn't meant to be a slight towards African-American women. This is the chorus to one of the coooolest cajun songs ever, Pine Grove Blues. Top that with first class accordion playing backed up with the Balfa Brothers and you have a milestone hit on your hands.

Nathan Abshire is known as "Mr. Accordion" and he earned that name through 50+ years of playing music.

This CD is THE one if you want to hear Nathan. It contains the Swallow sides and while not as raw as the Khoury's and not as smoothed out as the La Lousianna sides, this fits right in the middle. Just enough to be funky, happy, and sad all in one album. This is an essential CD if you want to hear Nathan at his best.

If you're looking for the Mardi Gras song that starts out with the stomping and the horses clopping, that's on the Fais Do Do cd, Nathan Abshire and his Pine Grove Boys. That's the raw stuff, unpolished cajun music at it's best.

Funky, Blue, and Dancehall Fantastic.......2004-05-07

The very first Cajun album I bought growing up in Southwestern Louisiana was Nathan Abshire's "The Good Times Are Killing Me" on Swallow. My life was never the same. This disc collects the titles on that LP along with some other sides cut for Swallow. Nathan crossed musical boundaries and there are two standout examples of his ability to fuse styles on this disc--check out his rocking version of Joe South's "The Games People Play" and a weeping track of Hank Snow's "I Don't Hurt Anymore." The Balfa Brothers are backing Nathan up here and the whole album has an easy flow revealing musical relationships forged in Louisiana's dancehalls. Great renditions of Cajun classics are here, I have never been able to purge the burning version of "Choupique Two Step" from my mind. If you can only own one Abshire album, this would be it. But who can own only one Nathan Abshire recording.

One of the Best Cajun Musicians Ever.......2002-05-01

I grew up listening to this music and this man is loved by young and old alike! Awesome album, anyone that is a Cajun music enthusiast should have this in their collection.
