Face to Face
(2014/Valcour) 12 tracks. Imagine two of Cajun music's most prolific ambassadors sitting down across from each other in a small, cozy room, making music together for the very first time. The performance, the repertoire, and even the instruments are timeless - filling the room instantly with a joyous, spontaneous energy that is remniscent of the historic recordings of Cajun masters Amédé Ardoin, Dennis McGee, and Amédé Breaux. Brought together by a shared affinity for vintage Cajun accordions, Doug Kershaw and Steve Riley are captured here for their first time in a duo setting to pay tribute to the old masters who first introduced their music to the world in the 1920s. The result is simply magical.<br/><br/>Medium 1<br/>Petite ou la grosse<br/>J'ai une Bonne Femme<br/>Jolie Blonde<br/>Saute Crapaud<br/>Crowley Two-Step<br/>Louisiana Man<br/>Midnight Waltz<br/>Mon Chapeau<br/>Feed It To The Fish<br/>Evangline Waltz<br/>Chère Mom<br/>Lake Arthur Stomp<br/>
