Eunice Waltz

Anyone know of any good recordings of the Eunice Waltz? I know about the ones by Feufollet and Steve Riley, but I haven't seen many others. Recommendations?

Re: Eunice Waltz

Re: Eunice Waltz

I also like Courtney Granger's version on Kyle Huval's cd "Le Poteau de Coin" I think that's the name of the cd

Re: Eunice Waltz

Ambrose Thibodeaux has a good recording
Cajun Music mp3 has it (See website #1) it's a direct link to the mp3.

Re: Eunice Waltz

This version of Ambrose Thibodeaux is my favorite version of the Eunice Waltz. But as someone stated it is not the same version of the Eunice Waltz that others play still think this one is the best.

Re: Eunice Waltz

I also like Kyle Huval's version. There is an older recording of this tune under a different name (imagine that), I'll see if I can find it. Ambrose Thibodeux's version is a different tune.

Good one,Neal

Thanks, everyone!

Eunice Waltz when it was in Crowley

Took quite a bit of searching, but Joe Falcon's La Valse De Crowley is the same song, Wade Fruge also.

Re: Eunice Waltz

I go with Neal on this one!

Re: Eunice Waltz

The Lafayette Playboy Waltz by Aldus Roger (Phillipe Allemand on vocals) is the same tune with different lyrics. It's one of my favorites!

Re: Eunice Waltz

Website links have two versions by Aldus Roger of the Lafayette Playboys Waltz. On the first one, it's an older band of his and the vocal is maybe Popeye Broussard or Roy Morgan. On the second one, it's a later version sung by Phillip Alleman.

The vocal melodies sound quite different than Eunice Waltz.

Re: Eunice Waltz

Many waltzes sound alike. Make sure the Eunice Waltz you are listening to bears the name, "Evangeline."

The other Eunice Waltzes from Acadia and St. Landry are frauds. There's been a boundary dispute amongst these parishes and their claim to the Eunice Waltz.

Listener beware...
