This actually rocks for 1929. Perhaps i'm too much a history buff or audiophile but this holds up real well over time.  Bravo!!!

This is not Cajun music. It is Creole French. These and many other songs were sung by slaves on plantations.

Amede--your deer like eyes still haunt us and speak to us.

[Videodeathtyl]

What a fuckin brutal voice. Great man.

I recently read Ron Yule's book, "Iry Lejuene: Wailin' The Blues Cajun Style". It describes the typical house dance in the 1920'3 and 30's. in the Eunice, La. area. It states that Amade Ardoin was always the first sought-after musician. It describes his performance in some detail.

@MrBeautifulba1 - I agree to a certain extent, there's a lot of plastic out there! But I also believe that the journey of searching for beauty in art, music, literature, history, nature, etc, can be an essential reward in and of itself. The winding path often leads to forgotten or overlooked treasures, think of all the strange & intersting fun to be had!

Thank you. I love this music and the people who created it. I just wish we had more of that and less of the barbie plastic that seems so prevalent in north dallas. Such beautiful music evolved out of the land and not corporate stripmalls. Resurrect the wild open freedom of the Southern Louisiana wetlands.

@MrBeautifulba1 - Be happy with whatever you are! If your exploring this kind of music, you must have a lively intellect and an imaginative soul, enjoy it!
