Early Cajun Music: "Bon Ton Rouley" - Lawrence Walker
During the late 1950s, Cajun music was on a slow decline and rock music was taking over the area. However, it didn't stop Cajun musicians from recording or starting new record labels. Lawrence Walker was one of these who would keep the music alive. Walker would record on Floyd Soileau's VEE-PEE record label, named after the initials of Floyd's hometown of Ville Platte. One of these tunes was "Bon Ton Rouley" (#102).
