This is a great version of a great song. As an FYI, "Jambalaya" is a derivative of a Cajun folk song that was around long before Hank Williams. The melody goes back a ways and had several lyrical variations including "Pretty Texas Girls", "Back to Big Houston" and probably a couple I don't know about. So it goes with music in the oral folk tradition.
@shrubhater Yes I love Hank Williams too. I wish I could yodel like him lol. Hank wrote Jambalaya. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I had to surgically remove a lot of the whistling by some jerk in the audience.
Thanks for posting, these are almost lost to the ages, thank god for the passionate fans.

Hank Williams and Clifton Chenier both do great versions of Jambalaya within their own genres!
