Re: Call it Cajungrass ??

Nice! Thanks for the link.

Re: Call it Cajungrass ??

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.

Re: Call it Cajungrass ??

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 . . .

Re: Call it Cajungrass ??

Haha... Jamey - I thought of you straight away when the dobro kicked in. That really needed a cajun accordion though. IMHO

Wow... what a great recording though.

Man, Michael Doucet is so smooth on that fiddle!

Re: Call it Cajungrass ??

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!

Dr.John, you're my man. But we must be some old lonely cowboys on a lonesome nightly trip ... - Nout

Re: Call it Cajungrass ??

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.
