Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys have enjoyed a dizzying ride to the top of the world of Cajun performers, a journey that has found them performing all over the U.S., plus France, England, and Canada. Still, they know that the only way to stay sharp is to keep pleasing the folks down home, and you don’t get much more “down home” than the Eunice, Louisiana VFW Post 8971 and Ladies Auxiliary Hall, where this album was recorded, in September of ì 1993. An unbeatable mix of traditional music and professional musicianship.
