Earlier recordings czan be traced to Douglas Bellard although Canray Fointenot surely made it popular with his infectious fiddle playing and vocals. Another traditional Cajun tune, it has worked its way into the Zydeco repertoire via The Lawtell Playboys, Boozoo Chavis and Zydeco Force. This is yet another hot fiddle tune I learned from the great Creole fiddler Canray Fontenot who never played it the same way twice. This blues tune may be attributed to the early playing of Claude Faulk and has been recorded by the late Delton Broussard and the Lawtell Playboys, Zydeco Force and others. John Delafose played this tune on the piano accordion on mostly the black keys.
Out version is on the triple row.
This is one of the standards of any dance band in Louisiana. We blended the traditional Cajun verses with our own haunting Zydeco melody. All songs arranged by Zydeco Crayz except as noted. With this music, I hope to pass along a little of what you've given to me. I dedicate this effort to the spirit of my friend and mentor, Ralph Rinzler, whose great efforts contributed to the documentation and promotion of the early music of Southwest Louisiana.
