Title Note

Personnel: Jimmy C. Newman (vocals); Dan Drilling (guitar); Joe Rogers (dobro, background vocals); Rufus Thibodeaux (fiddle); Bessyl Duhon (accordion); David Scott Cash (piano); Steve Crosslan (bass); Charles Landry (drums)

Recorded at Martin Sound, Nashville, Tennesse. Includes liner notes by Jim Bessman.

Newman found fame in the '50s as a country singer, but his roots were always in Cajun music. Throughout his career, he's injected a New Orleans flavor into his country recordings, but full albums of traditional Cajun music were few and far between for the Louisiana native. THE ALLIGATOR MAN provides a rare glimpse of Newman digging deeply into the music that influenced him as a young man. While the steady drumbeat might have sounded out of place on a Balfa Brothers album, the approach here is nonetheless overwhelmingly roots-reverent.

Cajun music had always intermingled with country music, so Newman's keening tenor and country-schooled twang fit particularly well into this mixture of traditional numbers, original compositions, and tracks by Cajun legends like D.L. Menard (whose own Cajun/country amalgam earned him the title "the Cajun Hank Williams." If you're looking for a country crossover, keep searching, but stop at THE ALLIGATOR MAN for earnest, emotive, traditional Cajun songs expertly rendered.
