There's a band (playing mostly in New Orleans) called Cajungrass. Its founder and leader is Brandon Moreau, a great Cajun fiddler, superb vocalist, and all-around great young man. Google them.
Man, that dobro ROCKED! Would've loved to have heard the keyboard accordion try his hand at it; I'm pretty sure he wasn't in that heady company just because of his looks . . .
Yes, its cool its slick, but give me scratchy fiddle and a chanky-chank
accordion in a smokey dance hall any time
Bluegrass ruined old timey music by making it too fast to dance to.
But it paved the way for a bunch of primadonnas to show off their
licks.
I call it b....sh..grass.
Sorry, but if this is the future of cajun music, I'm not going there!
I'm with ya there, but man.. you gotta admit that for a performance piece... that there is something else. Austin Pitre would have been all over that for sure.
