Ann Savoy

Most of the artists we feature today gravitate around the University of Lafayette in Louisiana. This is a place dedicated for preservation of cajun and zydeco culture in Louisiana, and a place where many musicians happily experiment with their French-spoken heritage. So, today, we feature Corey Ledet with his new record, Louis Michot with his solo record and a gorgeous album with Lost Bayou Ramblers and Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. Ann Savoy gathered her recording in the last couple of years and had them published by Smithsonian. A bunch of bands from several parishes around Lafayette recorded really fun French versions of classic rock songs, and that’s also scattered around the playlist. Louisiana heritage isn’t just cultivated in one small area of Louisiana, but all around the world. So we check out new music from Joe Le Taxi in Wales, Baton Rouge’s Le Roux covered CCR, The Carnivals joined forces with Becky Lynn Blanca to sing about New Orleans and Robert Finley plays his swamp blues up in the North of Louisiana.

Cary Morin

Today’s episode is inspired by the new music more or less connected to Louisiana. We start off with the new names for us, one-man-band Jesse Dayton and native American guitarist Cary Moran. John Paul Keith is next with a Cajun tune on his latest live album, specially prepared to close the gap between releases during the pandemic. Slavic Soul Party also released a similar live effort. They are a brass band showcasing Balkan folk traditions, but Balkan brass bands are really not all that different to the New Orleans brass and I think it can be heard on the tune I selected for this show. Legendary Louisiana Le Roux are back with the new record. Rhiannon Giddens has a new single, and we check it out today as well.
