Somebody Bring Kevin a Scotch!

Allons Boire un Coup: A Collection of Cajun and Creole Drinking Songs (Various Artists): What happens when you put a bunch of Cajun musicians in a room stocked with alcohol and ask them to play drinking songs? This album is what happens. The second release from local label Valcour Records, this is Proof #1 (first in a series) that big name labels, big name producers, and big money are not a prerequisite for Really Good Music. Caution for first timers: Once you hear Courtney Granger sing a waltz, your life may never be the same. Haunting and soulful, Courtney's heritage flows freely, instantly transporting the listener back in time, to house dances on Saturday nights on the Cajun Prairie. Fais do do, bebe.

You read it here first: Chris Stafford is a force to be reckoned with. Stepping into a lead guitar role on a few tracks here, he shows that the fire is alive in young south Louisiana musicians.
