Like Hank Williams Jr., Eddie LeJeune performs in the considerable shadow of his father, Iry LeJeune, who wrote and recorded a few dozen of Cajun music's most memorable songs before his untimely death at age 27 in 1955. Unlike Bocephus, however, LeJeune hasn't radically distanced himself from the old man. As this 1991 release demonstrates, Eddie's lucid yet uncomplicated accordion style, rootsy songwriting, and high, mournful voice form another strong link in Cajun culture's ongoing vitality. As for the Morse Playboys, you'd be hard-pressed to find a finer old-timey Cajun fiddler than Lionel Leleux, whose instrument sounds almost West African in tone. The French songs--mainly traditionals and tunes written by Eddie and Iry--concern romance, alcohol, hardship, and joy (not necessarily in that order). --Richard Gehr
