Down Home Cajun Music- Sons of Acadians 1939

Down Home Cajun Music- Sons of Acadians 1939Sons of Acadians were formed by a team of Lafayette area musicians in 1939 to capture the sounds of the popular music coming from the radio.  Made up of cousins, Oran "Doc" Guidry on fiddle, Nason Guidry on upright bass, and Sidney Guidry as guitarist and vocalist, they teamed up with either steel-guitarist Roscoe Whitlow or steel-guitarist Francis "Red" Fabacher and began playing night clubs in Rayne.Decca Records wanted the group to take hillbilly and swing songs and convert them to french songs. So the group travelled to the Rice Hotel in Houston on September 5, 1939 and recorded covers of Western Swing and Jazz classics along with Doc Guidry's original; "Aux Balle Chez Te Maurice". This one session would be their only recording output. While only a couple of the songs have been reissued; here is the entire  1939 session from the Sons of Acadians.Tu Peu Pas Metre Ce Maquac Sur Mon Dou (Decca 17053)Onze Livre De Ciel (Decca 17053)La Derniere Lettre (Decca 17051)L'Alle D'Amour (Decca 17051)En Jour A Venir (Decca 17057)A Legire Ma Pauvre Idie (Decca 17057)Aux Balle Chez Te Maurice (Decca 17054)J'Vas Continue A T'Aime (Decca 17054)Ca Tait Pas Diffence Asteur (Decca 17052)Rosetta (Decca 17052)Je Me Demande Si Tu Te Cent Comme Mois Je Me Cent (Decca 17055)Tu Peu Pas L'Omnait Avec Toi (Decca 17055)*All Selections from the original 78 rpm records*Thanks to Wade Falcon for use of Decca 17053 and Decca 17051
