CD Reviews

Let The Good Times Roll!

Jeff Farrow | 01/21/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"CAJUN MUSIC: The Essential Collection is a wonderful sample for listeners familiar with Cajun and those are new to it. As a point of clarification, Cajun refers to Louisiana descendants of Spanish immigrants via Nova Scotia or Arcadia. Creole, on the other hand, refers to Spanish descendants via the West Indies. There is cultural overlapping including the use of patois, or Americanized French. The selected CD has both English and French songs featuring various artists. Early influences on Country Western can easily be heard in Cajun music.

"A really "toe tapping" CD. Makes you want to get up and dance! Mostly songs in French, but a good overview of the cajun style from various artist. Highly recommended as a starter for a cajun collection."
