This CD was a great treat! Old holiday favorites that were hit with a Cajun fiddle and a whole new soule. My personal favorite is the first cut, Up on the Roof Top, which contains some verses in French. Hadley Castille and the Lousiana Cajun Band put a lot of heart into their music that you can't miss when you listen to it.

I have been blessed with the opportunity to see them live twice. What a treat! Hadley gives little tid-bits about Lousiana history with that southern charm that he's famous for. History has never sounded so good. They are a great bunch of guys who love to make great music so sit back and enjoy.

Ya gott'a cherish this label, 50+ seasonal selections competively priced. With this record they have chosen a star from a genera unfamiliar to most. His music is best served live with the artist inviting the audience to join the celebration. The Christmas disc cooked up here is similar to a standard soup stock just simmering on the back burner. I had hoped for something more spicey, like a jambalaya jamboree. Still the Cajun method of making the fiddle works great with "Up on a Housetop",the seldom heard "Giddyup Ball",and a couple instrumental tracks.Merrily Mix 1,3,5,8,11,13 and you might just draw Louie the Lizard,Frog Frank and the Weasel to your next Yuletide Get Down***buyit\savesome\sharelittlebits\sellitused***
