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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
