Re: Calcasieu Waltz

Yes - his Cajun Roots CD - He's one of my favorites, too.

Re: Calcasieu Waltz

Danny Poullard has a version on the Nonc Adam Two Step cd. Kevin Nacquin also has one.

Re: Calcasieu Waltz

Without hearing it, I would venture to say that Jo-El is probably most representative of Iry's version.

Re: Calcasieu Waltz

It is. His versions of Iry's songs are usually pretty exacting.

La Valse A Brunette is Amede's song that is the same tune. I like the fact it has a turn.

Re: Calcasieu Waltz

Roddie Romero does a quick version in this video.

Re: Calcasieu Waltz

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

The Grand Mamou Orchestra also did a very beautiful version on the 33rpm "The Cajuns, vol.2" (Sonet)!

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).

Re: Calcasieu Waltz

Yes, indeed!
Also Ambrose Thibodeaux' Elton Waltz sounds the same as Calcasieu Waltz...
