Before "zydeco" there was Jimmy C. Newman. Those who enjoy Cajun sounds, real Cajun accordians and the rich mix of Cajun language and culture should know it began with Jimmy C. Newman. This album is a classic mix of Newman's mix: English, Cajun, country and western, and the toe-tapping beginnings of what became Zydeco. Newman's enchantingly slow "Basile Waltz" and the peppy sounds of "Diggy Liggy Li" make this album worth the price. Toss in the chance to hear the roots of Zydeco, and you have a double bargain.

I really enjoy Cajun music and have purchased the music of Buckwheat and Clifton Chenier. This is the first purchase I have made of the recordings from Jimmy Newman and this CD is now part of my Cajun collection.

I use most of my music on my MP3 player at the gym and this music keeps me going on the treadmill and Elliptical trainer.

Looking forward to buying more music from this artist. I was very pleased with this CD and would recommend.

This CD is great! What a varity of Cajun sound! Sounds a little old style, so I know you will love it! When I hear this, I wish crawfish season came more often.
