They teamed up with our local dance band and boy, they sure made our guys sound like something! They'll be at the Lady of the Mountain Folk Festival in Magdalena, NM March 12-13 - if anyone from Mudcat is thinking about going, send me a PM, maybe we could meet. If you can't make it to Magdalena because you live on the other side of the Atlantic, don't worry - I think Bayou Seco is headed to Europe in mid-April. You can find their itinerary at www.cantos.org. Great music, and they're really nice people, too. |

Horses for courses .. but several people left because they were sooooo embarassingly boring, tedious, lack-lustre and quite frankly, unfunnily, not very good. But, hey, perhaps they were imposters and not Bayou Seco after all? |

I wonder if they were having a bad night - after 20 odd years of playing and touring you must have one every once in a while, where things go badly for one reason or another. And, as you suggested, different strokes for different folks - quite a few people just like what they're used to. I like what they do - to my ears it sounds authentic and unpretentious, which are a plus when it comes to traditional music, don't you think? |
