Good music sometimes rolls, flows, and falls into a mainstream and never lets up, as if it were meant to happen. This seems to be the case here with this Balfa brothers recording. Smooth with hardly any rough edges, these are real Cajun sessions, nothing fake or artificial about it. Dewey, Rodney, Will, Burkeman, Harry, all the Balfa's literally take you back to their family roots to show us the traditional Cajun way. Cajun music consist of strictly French lyrics, acoustic guitars, fiddle, accordion, the triangle, and there's the tight vocals and harmonies of the brothers. This is vol.1 and vol.2 of the original vinyl combined on one twenty four song disc. Some of these songs were featured on the motion picture "Southern Comfort", where you can catch Dewey Balfa in a cameo appearance naturally as one of the musicians, - one song featured in the film "Parlez-Nous a Boire", - also listen for The Balfa Brothers cover of Iry LeJeune's, "Lacassine Special", an essential recording, don't miss the Bayou train.
