Long Island, NY - K. Paule, January 2008
There's no surprise that Louis Michot and the Lost Bayou Ramblers have been nominated for a Grammy Award for their latest release, "Live A La Blue Moon." When it comes to pure, simple, unabashed great Cajun music heavy on the fiddle and French lyrics, The Lost Bayou Ramblers are one of the best at interpreting the genre. There's nothing polished or overproduced about the Lost Bayou Ramblers. Their music is sweet, pure and guaranteed to make you waltz or two-step around the dance floor or across your living room. The Lost Bayou Ramblers play the kind of front porch Cajun that relies upon basic instrumentation, crisp French vocals and a sound that can only come from feeling this music deep in your soul. Recorded Live, the Lost Bayou Ramblers are at their best on "A La Blue Moon."
Among the most enjoyable of the eighteen tracks captured at the Blue Moon Saloon in Lafayette, Louisiana are: "Bayou Perdu;" "J'Etais au Bal (Fariad);" "Moi J'Connais Pas;" "Lacassine Special;" "Blues de la Frontier;" and "Bosco Stomp." The Lost Bayou Ramblers are: Louis Michot (fiddle and vocals); Andre Michot (accordion and lap steel); Chris Courville (percussion); Alan LaFleur (upright bass); Cavan Curruth (guitar and vocals).
