This week I'm sharing a couple of classic cajun songs - "Alligator Man" and "Diggy Liggy Lo".
"Alligator Man" by Jimmy C. Newman (1962) - This song also has some classic country elements, but it definitely features a cajun style fiddle. The video is of a live performance from a 1963 episode of The Porter Wagoner Show. Personally, I like listening to this one with the speed set on 1.25 or 1.5 - Newman starts singing around 0:45.
"Diggy Liggy Lo" by Doug Kershaw (1969) - This is a live performance from 1990 and it just makes me feel happy. Plus, I have no clue how he manages to actually play that fiddle like that, but he does!
Great picks! I haven't heard of these songs before so thanks for mentioning them.

DeleteI didn't have time to listen because I'm at school, but I will later! I don't listen to Cajun that often l, so I'm interested!
