Various Allons Boire Un Coup - Cajun & Creole Drinkin (CD)

(54:40) ecopac 16 tracks (54:40) with 12 page booklet. Winner of OffBEAT Magazines 2007 'Cajun Album Of The Year' award. Yes, Cajun And Creole Musicians Do Get Drunk. In Fact, As I Write This There Is A Drunk Cajun Sitting Right Next To Me, Playing The Accordion This Is not The Point, However. In The Songs Collected On This Album, We Can See That Cajuns And Creoles Do Far More That Just Get Wasted. In These Songs, Drunk People Dream. They Waltz. They Get Their Guns And Go Out In The Middle Of The Night And Kill Raccoons. When Their Bottles Are Empty, They Stomp Their Feet And Play Furious, Driving Dirges On The Fiddle. People All Over The World Get Drunk On Saturday Night And Have Hangovers On Sunday, But Cajuny Drink A Glass Of Lemonade And Then Write A song About It. It's Not Particularly Interesting Or Important That People In Southern Louisiana Like To Drink. Of utter Importance, However, Are The Wild And Sometimes Strange Things They Do When They Drink And Party Togethr And The Soulful, Brilliant Way They Transform These Activities Into Song. We Hope This Album Is A Good Example Of Both.
