Octa Clark & Hector Duhon - Old Time Cajun Music

CAT. #: 9018


Price:

$10.00

CD 9018

To ride that razor-edge balance, one part pushing, the other pulling, carrying the pulse of a music from yesterday into tomorrow is but a quiescent indication of what it is like to follow the music of Octa Clark and Hector Duhon.

This, their first album, is a taste of the great music effortlessly played by the proud yet gentle masters of the Acadian accordion and fiddle, Octa Clark and Hector Duhon. As Octa says, "You can't go wrong if you play it right."

REVIEW

“…one of the classic modern recordings of traditional Cajun music.  Their playing together is highly syncopated, probably demonstrated best on the storming opener ‘Bosco Stomp,’ which rocks like an accordion, a fiddle and an acoustic guitar (played by Michael Doucet) ought not to be allowed to…This is no-nonsense traditional music of the highest order, played without pretension or fuss.  Every track is a gem.”    

-Ray Templeton, Blues & Rhythm
