V/A
Cajun Stomp
(Beast Records)



Before sterile computerized stuntery sucked all the humanity out of music made by breathing and feeling people, there were marvelous, fat-vinyl records cut in shoebox studios tucked away in rural regions where actual life was lived. 

Those weighty black discs deserve hearing today more than any cloying chart confection or faceless rap dismalness available. Yesterday's preserved examples hold inspirational reward for those wise enough to seek it. 

Recommended: "Coming Home" (Jay Stutes and All the Sugar Bee's),  "Come Back Little Girl" (Jay Stutes), "Sweet Thing" (Cleveland Crochet and His Band of Sugar Bee's), "Hound Dog Baby" (Cleveland Crochet and and His Band of Sugar Bee's), "Allons Rock and roll" (Lawrence Walker), "Two Step De Vieux Temps" (Rambling Aces), "Open the Door" (Adam Hebert and the Country Playboys), "Cajun Twist Le Tortillage" (The Cajun Trio), "Lemonade Song" (Nathan Abshire and His Pine Grove Boys)
