Red Stick Ramblers
The Red Stick Ramblers' last CD, Made In the Shade is a favorite of mine. Here's the title track. Great Cajun music.
Jimmy Martin
Jimmy Martin was a legend of bluegrass music and one of the great characters, too. This is a video of him performing his trademark song, "Freeborn Man."
Lo Cor de la Plana
Now for something completely different...The band Lo Cor de la Plana is an a cappella ensemble from Marseilles, France, that performs an ancient style of music in the southern French language of Occitan. And you can experience this live (minus the drinks, I'm afraid) when Lo Cor de la Plana performs in the final concert of our World Rhythms Series at UD's Boll Theater on Tuesday, March 31. I saw the band live in New York, and it's hard to capture the excitement on a video. But this gives a good taste of what's in store.
