ALBUM REVIEWS - Vermilionaire
back to live


Lafayette, LA, Dege Legg, September 2008

RAMBLE ON
The good'ole rambling boys from the Lost Bayou Ramblers have done it again-released yet another album of incredible floor pounding dance hall Cajun songs. Recorded at Dockside Studios in Maurice and produced by Chris "Frenchie" Smith, Vermillionaire (Bayou Perdue Records) contains no jive studio trickery or $cash$ hungry novelty tunes. The album spins pure dirt-earth Cajun country traditionalism, proficiently reimagined in the present by a band at the peak of their sonic and spiritual powers. This is a band that in no way budges from the unpolluted rootsy aesthetic of making real-sounding music for real-acting people. - Dege Legg
