Product Description
Product Description
* Two of Cajun's most famous albums return to the Ace catalogue all newly remastered and with four bonus titles. In the mid 1960s Cajun music was in danger of stagnating, having become heavily influenced by country, western swing and pop music. Dewey Balfa persuaded Floyd Soileau to record him and his brothers performing a more traditional form of the music from several decades earlier.
* "Play Traditional Cajun Music" came out in 1965, with a second volume following in 1974. In making these records the Balfas and Soileau preserved music that was in danger of being entirely forgotten.
* This release also includes four non-LP single sides and has been freshly packaged with a new sleeve note by Cajun expert Ann Savoy, plus a new selection of photographs and lyrics in French with an English translation.

I have this on a rather battered up Vinyl copy which is very old and pretty much unplayable now.
Ive been looking for this on CD for years and at last Ive got it.
This is Cajun music as its meant to be , excellent stuff.

After searching for many years for the soundtrack to Southern Comfort that has never been released yet,you can get Ry Cooders tracks on his cd Music by Ry Cooder at least.then i discovered this ordered it from the good old U S of A. I only really play the tracks from Southern Comfort tracks 1,2,5,23 ,compare this to the band playing in the movie and theres no difference at all superb even though i only play the 4 tracks. Also check out the bands history on the net it is well worth knowing the history of this fantastic band ian
