Old time fiddler, Wade Frugé's, first and important recording for fans of rare, traditional fiddle music showcases his contagious early days style. Covering traditional Cajun standards as well as tunes he learned from his grandfather, Mr. Frugé includes some wailing blues numbers he picked up from black fiddlers in his native Louisiana. Joined by the powerful singer and drummer, Vorance Barzas, and Cajun mainstays, Ann and Marc Savoy, this re-issue of Arhoolie LP 5044 includes previously unissued fiddle solo recordings with Mr. Savoy on guitar.

REVIEW

“... one of Cajun music's most soulful, articulate fiddlers, an old-timey master of delicate grace notes, piercing chords and a rocking bow action that alternated between treble and bass.... He was never a professional dancehall musician, but as this recording shows, he played with brilliant technique solely for house parties.”
