I like Iry's version very very much.Yes, I have both of the Iry cds and the one with the yellow cover is the best version. The Bass guitar is on that one that was released on the Swallow reissue. Wayne's version was a great one. He really digs in and gets the words down on his version. I like Nathan's on that Basile Dance. Nathan sings it great. I still like Belton's version. Michael
Looking for a better quality recording of Calcasieu Waltz. The one I have is Iry LeJeune. Don't get me wrong Iry is one of my top ten, but the recording I have is terrible. an artist name or Youtube clip would be helpful
Iry LeJeune's son Eddie LeJeune has an excellent version of the song on his album "Cajun Soul" but its labeled "Cher Ti' Monde". Its the same song as Calcasieu Waltz but the lyrics are a little different (which is very common in cajun music).
