Category 72: Best Zydeco Or Cajun Music Album
The nominations are in and Cedric made the cut with his debut solo cd out on Valcour!
Valcour’s own Joel Savoy produced and engineered Cedric’s cd, and it features the photography of Lucius Fontenot and visual design by Phillip LaFargue. Joel also recorded and mixed the Pine Leaf Boys album (also nominated), Homage au Passé.
Most of all, congratulations Cedric and all the musicians that came together for the project! (click here for full list of musicians)
While we are dissappointed that Feufollet’s fantastic Cow Island Hop album didn’t quite make it, the blow is softened by some very kind words from the Pine Leaf Boys’ Wilson Savoy, which you can read on their website:
Thanks!, but what about Feufollet?
