ALBUM: Cajun Dance Band (1983)
MVC Rating: 4.0
Dance. That’s what Cajun music is about. I also get hungry for some of the best food in the world when I hear the music.
The group is named after a spice used in Cajun cooking:
Mix the ingredients: Cajun French singing, gumbo cooking, creole, zydeco, fiddles, accordions, foot stomping, and hand clapping. That’s what’s cooking by this band which was around for about two decades before clocking out in 2002.
It’s a party record and it makes you feel good. File it next to Dr. John’s ‘Gumbo.’
Certainly there’s a time and a place, but when there’s a certain energy in the air, I could listen to this album 10 times in a row.
