As Cajun music goes, this is indisputably the hard stuff. Wallace "Cheese" Read (1914-1981) was a legendary fiddler and singer who began recording in the late '50s, but whose music echoed a far earlier era. In fact, with the exception of "Keep a Knocking" which actually features drums (close enough for rock & roll, as it were), what you hear on CAJUN HOUSE PARTY is probably what you could have heard in backwoods Louisiana before the invention of the radio, or even recorded music itself. Needless to say, immensely evocative stuff, and Read's fiddle playing is a marvel.
