Re: Re: Re: Walter Mouton & the other great sounds of the 60's & 70's

The issue is also that the whole band has a unique sound , real dance hall and that not much of this music has been re-released on cd. I'm thinking about Sidney Brown's Goldband recordings , I'm thinking about the brilliant LP of Jay Pelsia, Nathan Menard & the Musical Cajuns , of Joe Bonsall and Robert Bertrand. So much of this music only exists on cassette or LP and we should be finding inspiration from it but it is less accessable.

I had a rare opportunity to get on stage with Walter on fiddle, Jr. Martin on steel, Chevy Foreman on bass at the Poussiere Club in Breaux Bridge one night. It was awesome, I don't think they're too many out there that know Walter can play a fiddle as well and as smooth as he is on the accordion. It was a blast !

Sidney Brown Goldbands and Nathan Menard

If it helps, you can order the Nathan Menard album Cajun Swing from the Smithsonian Folkways site above

Select format custom CD

For Sidney Brown Goldbands, I guess you could lobby Swallow Records to put it on CD. You may check with some of the British labels as he might appear on compilations they lease from time to time.

Re: Sidney Brown Goldbands and Nathan Menard

Thanks! I ordered the Jay Pelsia cd from folkways.
