A rare treat. Old time Louisiana French-Creole country music performed with uncommon vitality by three friends, steeped and raised in this unique ethnic heritage. "Les Amis Creole have passionately absorbed and invigorated the homespun music of their ethnic heritage. In so doing, they take us back to an era before the advent of zydeco - to a time when their people first propagated a danceable folk idiom at 'la-la' house parties across southwest Louisiana. Embracing the acoustic purity of that tradition, these three friends perform the old songs with uncommon dexterity and grace. As Edward relates, 'We recorded this one just like my father and my grandfather used to play, seated in chairs right there in the kitchen.'" - Roger Wood Edward Poullard (accordion, fiddle, vocal), Cedric Watson (fiddle, vocal), James Adams (guitar).
