Nathan Abshire - Pine Grove Blues Still video

I really love Nathan's accordian playing and singing, also the Balfa Brothers. They keep the rich heritage of the Cajun music alive.

[Brooster86]

It's interesting that this song is in connection with Where did you sleep last night... translation is: "Hey, black girl, where did you sleep last night?" ;)

[kingofthekongos]

Isn't where were you last night? Later in the song he sings about her coming home in the morning with her dress torn up, and she says somthing about the fence.

[pklepack]

theres gotta be a connection, especially since the song is called pine grove blues. . .as in " in the pines, in the pines, where the sun dont ever shine"

[pomea]

No, I don't think so. I was told by Terry Clement that the title came from the name of a dancehall in Evangeline called the Pinegrove Club, on Terry's grandfather's property. The house band led by fiddler Will Kegley went by the name Pinegrove Boys. They recruited Nathan Abshire to play accordion with them, so he named his tune the Pinegrove Blues (Ma Negresse). This is not related to the song In the Pines. The lyrics in French never do mention Pine trees at all.

[BrutalDeluxe80]

like me,the cajuns are unable to properly speak either french or english.

[Rockitfile]

Wonderful music.Great drivin' rythymn! Roll over Beethoven!

[catherineyronwode]

Thanks. I love this song. Next time try a slide show!

[upsalooka]

No, just leave that one single picture -- and the music! Any slide show would detract from the great Pine Grove Blues!!!
